Confederate States of America
1861 50C Scott Restrike -- Cleaning -- PCGS Genuine. Unc Details. The original Confederate half dollar reverse die was obtained by J.W. Scott in 1879 through Ebenezer Locke Mason, Jr., who bought it and an original Confederate half from Dr. B.F. Taylor, Chief Coiner at the New Orleans branch mint under Confederate occupation. Scott acquired 500 1861 half dollars and used the reverse die to produce 500 of these restrikes. This piece shows the usual flatness around the obverse border and an uneven reverse impression. Evidence of an old cleaning does not overly distract.
