1861 1c Confederate States Of America Cent

Known examples of the CSA cent are known to be high grade examples. The Baslow restrikes were impressions from defaced dies. This looks like a worn example from a die that was not defaced, which differs from the originals and restrikes. You can send it in to a grading service, but it is likely a million to 1 against that this is genuine.

Numismatic Student, what makes you say it is not a Bashlow restrike?

I see marks in all the right places, but I am far from qualified to make a call.

I've always liked that reverse design ....

There are plenty of reasons for counterfeiting it as the genuine example below sold for over $16K

I almost pulled the trigger on this ebay example last week but decided against it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/143523480592
I have never owned a Bashlow but after reading the book "The Lovett Cent - A confederate story" I have wanted one in my collection to go with the book. When I got the book I just missed out on an entire Bashlow set of restrike coins now that was a cool set.

Here is one for $1800 https://www.tipsicocoin.com/tokens-...-tokens-rare

The set I watched sold for around $400 on ebay, should have got that when I had the chance. DOH.

This is a neat coin but really hard to tell if it's the real deal (restrike) or not, it has the look of a cast coin, but all the cast replicas I've see are not of the Bashlow defaced die strikes. I can't say for sure. Worth sending it in? Maybe but seeing as the Bashlow cents in better condition go for about $100 I'd say not worth spending $25-50 to find out. I'd just go to a dealer I trust that knows about these coins myself, granted the OP may not have that luxury but I see Mysterium is in Lancaster, TX area, not too far from downtown Dallas and Heritage. Who could easily let you know if it's a real deal or replica.
