    Here is an orginial restrike from the 1960's 20211119_203520.jpg 1653308161629_20211119_203537.jpg

    Until I can find my reference yours looks as if its a fake . The 6 is the key
    if I remember correctly let me find my sorce and I will confirm yes/no.

    Using the op images I believe that it is fake or a fake - fake so to speak.

    The hair and 6 are not correct


    These are fakes also s-l1600-16.jpg s-l1600-15.jpg

    100% sure and wouldn't post it as such if it wasn't....however the op isn't its a fake / fake.. nothing matches the
    Correct restrike.

    Here's a piece I have owned for a long time. It is the bronze strike of the Bashlow Confederate cent struck from canceled copy dies.

    NOT a Bashlow, but well over 50yrs old.. came from my grandfathers collection.
    It is however missing the period after America so pretty sure is just an old copy :D Is a pretty good match for the "suspect" example Paddy posted
    PS I really like the OPs nickel/cent :D

    Yes mine was a bronze strike also..the tone im guessing from where it was stored. Prior to my purchased from an older member of the coin club. He still had the orginal recipt from his purchase...in the 60's. I must admit I like its color...

    Here's mine in copper, for comparison sake. Cost less than $100 in the NGC slab a few years back (I was deal hunting as usual and it caught my eye when I had some money in my pocket).

    Well, I find there are two version , copper and nickel , so I think it might nickel. Silver seems different , not sure…

    Because only 50 were struck out of nickel, 5000 out of silver.

    Send it to ANACs if you want it authenticated and or graded. They would also tell you whether it's nickel or silver without tearing a leg off.

    So... asked my brother if he knew anything else about cent I posted above, since he ended up with 99% of Pepe's collection... after a long talk and some horsetrading (that cost me one of my 1787 NJ coppers) I now own a bashlow of my own :D
