<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 453179, member: 15199&quot;]Hi, these are Bashlow restrikes , see</p><p><a href="http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&amp;Number=1208747" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&amp;Number=1208747" rel="nofollow">http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&amp;Number=1208747</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Bashlow is famous for the confederate cent restrike about the same time. The suggestion is that David Bowers was involved also, but I can&#039;t find anything specific. These still sell on Ebay for under $20 to some who have them graded and want $$$. Your&#039;s look like it is the &quot;white metal&quot; variety that wasn&#039;t advertised in the url I gave above, but it is said that 7000 were struck in aluminum or other metal for the Boy Scouts. What for, I don&#039;t know.&nbsp; Hope this helps! Or it may be the silver, but would expect a different sheen. There is a thread on the Bashlow cent on the site also.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
