   What is "B-8008"? Is it a variety or common strike? Here's a common PCGS MS67RD which is PCGS POP 22/1. The highest graded PCGS coin is PCGS MS68RD POP 1/0. Here's the pop report: https://www.pcgs.com/pop/detail/confederate-states-america-1861-1863/920?sn=527916&p=MS&g=67&ccid=920

   to answer your question, no, the label is not correct. It was mis-attributed as one of the 19th Century restrikes from the original dies. It is actually one of the 20th century strikes from copy dies transferred from the original dies.

   It is not really a restrike. It was a piece that was made and issued by a fellow named Robert Broeslow. He took the canceled Confederate Cents dies and made copy dies from them. These pieces were made in numerous metals and sold circa 1961. The pieces in copper at the most common. Time was these pieces sold for very low…

   I recall Littleton marketing these in their mailings back in the 70s. Wish I had picked some up back then when they were cheaper. I picked up a few coppers and a goldine 15 or 20 years ago but never did find a silver I was willing to pay for. I also picked up a tin (50 struck) for $36 but that is another story...

   I paid $6 for one in the late 1970s. There was an African-American dealer, John Meeks, in New Jersey, who must have 20 or 30 of them in his lose leaf coin albums. It is interesting to note that "The Red Book" stated that these pieces were not worth very much years ago.

   I used to chase these on ebay about 20 years ago and I would go as high as $20 or $25 but they have steadily climbed in value since then. Right now on ebay most are slabbed and they sell for over (sometimes well over) $100. There is an outlier or two in the $75 range, but $35 seems to be a distant memory.
