2011 Smithsonian Confederate Cent Restrike
in Newbie Coin Collecting Questions
Posted
I have a set of confederate cent 2nd restrikes and after researching them it appears they are Bashlow restrikes. Most everything I read says the original dies were disfigured before Bashlow made his copies and that the original dies were given to the Smithsonian after the 1961 Bashlow restrikes were made. My question is, how were the apparently perfect Smithsonian 2011 restrikes made if they were made from the original dies as claimed?
