Description

This is Haseltine's 1874 restrike of the Confederate cent in silver. John W. Haseltine of Philadelphia bought Lovett's dies and in 1874 restruck the Confederate cent in gold, silver and copper; the ANA gives his figures as 7 in gold, 12 in silver and 55 in copper, after which the dies were defaced. CoinWeek notes that the restrikes are softer in detail than the originals and struck with a coin turn rather than a medal turn. Catalogue numbers: Breen-8007. PCGS number 340409.
