<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 1531255, member: 12789"]Based on what I see in the images it appears to be a Bashlow restrike from the 1960's. The things that give it away as a restrike are the die breaks and cuds that happened when the dies were transferred. All the restrikes from that time have these characteristics.
