Tie Confederate cent.

There was only II complete die
MADE for Il @ purpose OF coming money
by lie Confederate States of America
that for a one cent piece, which was
MADE IL Lovett, tie Philadelphia en-
graver. in 1861. After he had finished
the dies Mr.. Loyett found that he was
unable to send them to the persons
who had ordered the work done, and,
becoming alarmed, he struck of"
twelve nickel cents and then carefully
secreted both coins and dies. For
twelve long years the engraver kept
his secret. which was finally revealed
through an %rcriGent. One day In 1873
he went to The hiding place Of the rare
coins and selected one for a pocket
piece and within the month passed 1t
out unknowinely to Hazeltine. the
Philadelphia restaurant keeper. This
man, knowing the piece to be Lovett's
work, sent it to j. G. Randall, the coin
collector. After some little trouble
Hazeltine and Randall succeeded In
buying the die. and from it they struck
ffty-fve copper pieces, twelve in silver
and seven in gold. This accomplished,
they mutilated the die, and coin dealers
now hold Confederate cents at a very
high figure.
