1891 CONFEDERATE CENT ARTICLEJim Haas forwarded this article from the July 25, 1891 Martinsburg Independent about the 'Confederate Cent' created by die-sinker Robert Lovett Jr. The story was covered in a wide range of newspapers throughout the country, and discussed and debated by numismatists ever since. Plenty of inaccuracies (such as the headline "Made at the Philadelphia Mint") but of interest in documenting the story's origins. See the earlier articles linked below for more information. -Editor
