CAC. An incredible piece of Confederate history. Robert Lovett engraved and struck Confederate Cents in 1861 of which 13-16 are known. He then sold the dies to John Haseltine and J. Colvin Randall who struck 55 copper coins before the dies broke. This is one of the better surviving examples with smooth problem-free surfaces that […]

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 […]

CSA Scott Restrike Half Dollar. In 1879 J.W. Scott purchased the original C.S.A. half dollar die from Ebenezer Locke Mason, Jr., who had originally acquired it from Dr. B. F. Taylor, former chief coiner of the New Orleans Mint. Scott overstruck 500 1861-dated halves with the die after planing off the reverses, then paired the […]

CAC. A beautiful near-Gem with rich luster and velvety clean surfaces. This popular Civil War issue is sharply struck and processes outstanding eye appeal.

CAC. A very sharp strike with bright satiny white luster over choice, minimally abraded surfaces.

A lovely proof with bright reflective surfaces and attractive light toning. The devices are lightly frosted and the eye appeal is outstanding. An even 1,000 minted.

The last Seated coin produced at the New Orleans mint before is was taken over by the Confederacy. This is a very attractive example with sharp detail and lustrous white surfaces.

A scarce date from a long line-up of better San Francisco Mint issues from the 1850’s and 1860’s. Just 15,500 coins struck and it is estimated that only 70 to 80 pieces have survived. Most are well worn and PCGS has yet to grade a single coin mint state. This is a pleasing high-end XF […]
