A scarce Civil War-era issue combining historical significance with strong eye appeal. Rich, original orange-gold luster blankets both sides, complemented by soft satiny texture and very few minor marks for the grade. Well struck, with bold detail in Liberty’s hair and the reverse eagle.

PF-1. Vignettes include a central allegorical rendition of Commerce, Agriculture, Justice, Liberty, and Industry. A young woman stands at left and a statue of George Washington is at right.

PF-4. Vignettes display George Washington in the center and Tellus on the left. Well printed with a bright appearance.

Breen-8002. Just 4 original CSA half dollars were struck. NYC coin dealer J.W. Scott purchased the dies in 1879. He also purchased 500 1861 Seated Halves (allegedly O-mints), planed off the design of the Federal reverse and struck the CSA reverse. This is a particularly nice coin for the grade. The CSA side is well […]
