NGC Certified Original Confederate Cent Leads Spink Smythe November Auction
Oct 3 at 11:11pm
Spink Smythe will auction a rare “Original” 1861 Confederate Cent at its auction being held in New York City on November 6, 2008.
In 1861 the Confederate States of America contacted prominent Philadelphia jewelers Bailey & Co. regarding the supply of cent coins for the South. Bailey & Co. asked Robert Lovett, Jr. to produce the pieces and he struck twelve in copper-nickel. These are considered “Originals” as later restrikes were made only in silver, gold, and copper. The Confederacy ultimately did not adopt the piece, and these cents remain the only coinage designed for the Confederacy.
