I would check ebay, lately I've been pursuing the 1861 bashlow confed. cent restrikes and im not that familiar with the cont. restrikes and they are less common than the 1861's but usually they pop up on ebay every few weeks.

I don't know where to find any at this time but I can give you a little more information about them. Yes they are struck from transfer dies but the transfer was not taken fron the original dies but from a set made up by Dr Monroeville W Dickeson in 1876 and used to create restrikes for the Centennial celebrations.

The Bashlow restrikes were made in silver (about 2,000 pieces) Goldine, and bronze. The dies were later used by the Boy Scouts to strike medals for their 1962 Jamboree out of aluminum.

The Dickeson dies were also used for other restrikes. Thomas Elder used them to create restrikes in various metals in the early twentieth century, and according to Breen they were also used later by Q David Bowers for yet another run of restrikes.

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i just found out that excelsior coin galleries in sacramento has the continental dollar bashlow restrikes 1961 in inventory

they have been a coin world adveertisier for many decades and always seemed to have esoteric stuff so i took a chance and called them

never done busienss with them brfore and real;ly never heard anything about them other than seeing their ads for many years

i think silver is 125

goldine is 33

and therer is also bronze 29 and white metal 45


i think i got the prices straight sounds like a neat deal for all the strikes of this coin for around 200.00
