Confederate States of America
1861-Dated "Confederate Half Dime," A United South, DeWitt-Sullivan C-1861-2 -- Holed -- NGC Details. Fine. Silver, 13 mm. Holed as are the majority of the eight to 12 known examples. This piece is the fifth example that we have offered since the January 2015 Donald Groves Partrick sale. We had never handled one prior to the Partrick sale. This A UNITED SOUTH token features the usual design with a flag and 1861 on the obverse, and 15 stars around a cotton plant on the reverse, a creation of A.O.H.P. Sehorn of Tennessee. Almost certainly struck in 1861 as dated, this example displays details that are typical of most that we have seen. The pewter-gray surfaces show trivial marks that are indicative of time spent in circulation during the coin shortage of the Civil War.
