- A Remarkable Second Scott Restrike Confederate Half Dollar "1861" (1879) Confederate Half Dollar. Scott Restrike. Breen-8002. MS-60 (PCGS). This lovely BU example exhibits blended olive-gray and reddish-apricot patina on the obverse, the reverse untoned in bright silver gray. Sharply defined on the latter side, the obverse is typically softer for the type, yet with all devices fully appreciable. A few wispy scratches and other minor handling marks over and around Liberty's portrait are noted for accuracy. One of only 500 restrikes of this rare and historic Confederate States issue attributed to J.W. Scott, who "drilled off" the reverse on original 1861-O half dollars and restruck that side with the Confederate reverse die. Market appearances for this type are usually few and far between, our multiple offerings in this sale representing a rare bidding opportunity for advanced collectors. PCGS# 340402.
