In 1961, Robert Bashlow purchased the defaced Haseltine dies and had transfer dies made by August C. Frank, using original (cancelled) pieces. Bashlow produced a number of 2nd re-strikes on a variety of metals, just in time for the Civil War anniversary. He also made a few “fancy” pieces, including a limited run of so-called paperweights – obverse & reverse Confederate Cent die impressions on solid blocks of copper. According to “The Lovett Cent, a Confederate Story” book by Harold Levi & George Corell, Bashlow was planning to make at least 100 paperweights, but only about 80 such pieces were made before the dies cracked.

Weight 20.07 ounces. 78mm wide x 38mm high. Numbered 52.
