<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jester3681, post: 2598414, member: 53130&quot;]I&#039;ve got a bit of a Bashlow Confederate collection, as you may or may not know. Heritage has some pretty serious rarities for sale at the F.U.N. Auction, including:</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold Confederate Restrike: Finer of two in private hands, only three struck. I expect this one to be a $25k+ token.</p><p><br /></p><p>Collection of Off Metal Confederate Restrikes: We all know of the goldine, bronze and silver. They have a collection of six off metal (each with a mintage of 50): nickel, tin, aluminum, zinc, lead, and red fiber. This kind of surprises me because this exact collection sold a few years back with each piece in its own lot - all went for $1k+. It really limits the class of bidder to lump them together. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unique Set of Silver Cake Servers: From what I understand, Bashlow bought these and stamped them with the obverse die. The auction lot includes both, believed to be a unique set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also for sale are some odd metal hub trials (gold and platinum?), lead trials, and a couple of the stamped ingots.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not a player for any of this stuff unless it goes for bargain basement prices. Again, I&#039;m surprised they lumped the off metal strikes together.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
