- Attractive Choice Mint State-63 1861 CSA Restrike Half Dollar 1861 Confederate Half Dollar. J.W. Scott Restrike. Breen-8002. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. Both the obverse and reverse are toned in attractive shades of gunmetal-gray with a hint of lilac-rose when examined under a light. The strike is exceptional on the Confederate die side, with full lettering and devices, while the obverse shows the expected minor flattening. Attractive surfaces show careful preservation since the time of issue, important as most of these show far more handling or wear than this pleasing coin. There were 500 of these struck around 1879 in order to fill collector demand, as the four original Confederate half dollars were well beyond most collectors' means. Despite minor die rust, the reverse used to coin the Confederate half dollars was in fine condition, and demand for well preserved examples like this has always been high. With the sesquicentennial of the Civil War currently underway, demand will be high for such an historic item. PCGS# 340402. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. PCGS Population: 14; 7 finer (Mint State-65 finest).
