INFO SOUGHT ON CONFEDERATE CENT COPIES

Harold Levi writes: "In the tenth Ford sale held in Atlanta on
May 26th was a set of Confederate cent restrikes, lot 4481.
Technically, these are copies. According to Michael Hodder,
the cataloguer, Bashlow had a new pair of Confederate cent
dies engraved in London, England in 1962. This was,
seemingly, sometime after he made the so-called 2nd restrikes.

The set, housed in a leather case, contains one coin struck in
gold, one in silver, and one over-struck on an 1858 Flying
Eagle cent. Does anyone know of any other examples of
these restrikes? Are the coins in this set the only ones in
existence?

Also, Hodder mentioned that the location of the new British
dies is unknown today. Does anyone know where these
dies are, or what happened to them?

If you are the winner of this lot, PLEASE contact me!!!
Any information would be deeply appreciated! I can be
contacted at: haroldlevi at hotmail.com."
