It really looks like a copy of a copy. The Bashlow restrikes had the cancelled reverse die, but this one looks like a cast copy of a Bashlow in base metal that has been copper plated.

Not 100% sure it does. The 1960 coin was copper (as I understand), the pic above (original) isn’t (my guess) a copper blank. I’m guessing it’s a <10 yr old souvenir which was “aged”
I'm referring to the copy paste post that I did showing the OP his piece was a 1960 copy.
The die lines line up.
The original strikes don't have die lines.

Well $750 to $2000 sounds Hella good to someone who's as financially broke. How can I sell it? And, or..... Wanna buy it?

That's a totally different coin, a genuine half dollar struck at the New Orleans mint after the Confederacy took control of it. Yours is not worth anywhere near that.
