1861 C.S.A. Half Dollar, Scott Restrike
MS64, Only One Finer at PCGS

1861 50C Scott CSA Restrike, Breen-8002, Bertram-B861-267, MS64 PCGS. Four original Confederate half dollars were struck in 1861, during the brief period of coinage while controlled by the Confederate States of America. The variety paired the one and only C.S.A. die with a Federal 1861 Seated Liberty obverse die. The C.S.A. die was retained by New Orleans Mint Chief Coiner Benjamin Taylor, who sold it in 1879. It passed through the hands of Ebenezer Mason, who flipped it to J.W. Scott & Co. The latter firm planed the reverses of 500 1861-dated halves and struck those reverses with the C.S.A. die. The operation moderately flattened the obverses. The pieces are generally graded by the C.S.A. side. This is an exemplary near-Gem with a sharply struck C.S.A. side. Minor die rust, as made, is noted across smooth and satiny powder-blue surfaces. Hints of tan-brown visit the borders. Listed on page 423 of the 2022 Guide Book. Population: 9 in 64, 1 finer (6/21).
