<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nightside5, post: 956375, member: 2292&quot;]Working backward through this thread.&nbsp; Bashlow had nothing to do with the fractionals.&nbsp; The fractionals are an enigmatic mystery.&nbsp; There is one known &quot;original&quot; of the 1/4 piece believed to have originated in Europe, likely France though England is not to be ignored as the source.&nbsp; Restrikes were made early in the 20th century and are themself quite scarce.&nbsp; Different alloys and different die states of the host die.&nbsp; Several varieties of copies of the restrike exist in greater quantity made from molds taken off the restrike.&nbsp; These were made in the late 1950&#039;s or early 1960&#039;s for the Confederate centennial.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those pictured appear to be the latter centennial pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
