1961 Copper Bashlow Restrike

What it is, is a restrike of a Confederate States of America 1 Cent.

Robert Lovett engraved the original CSA dies and struck twelve coins in 1861 that were essentially patterns. John Haseltine acquired the dies in the 1870s and struck a limited number of restrikes in various compositions(but not the original cupronickel alloy) before suffering a die failure. The original dies resurfaced again just in time for the centennial anniversary and were obtained by Robert Bashlow. Since the original dies were cracked and cancelled, Bashlow made transfer copies of the original dies and used these new dies, complete with cracks and chisel marks, to strike a new set of coins in 1961. Since new transfer dies were used, they are not restrikes in the traditional sense, more like reproductions. 5,000 silver, 5,000 goldine(brass alloy), and 20,000 copper examples were struck in 1961 so they can be obtained by most collectors unlike the originals and restrikes.

Checking completed listings on ebay, an NGC 64 sold for $54 and an NGC 66 sold for $82.

I would say "zero." It's only worth money because people think it's interesting - to me, it's just somebody's garage project which happened during my lifetime. No, thanks.
