Summary

This coin is known as the "New Haven Restrike," was struck from dies that were probably produced at the Scovill Mint in Waterbury, Connecticut. The term "New Haven Restrike" was based on the mistaken belief that these coins were produced by C. Wyllys Betts in New Haven from original dies he had discovered.

This is a government image, and it's also 100+ years old. I'll stick with the government image part for good measure.
