These are the closest most of us mere mortals will come to owning a Confederate coin which is not a later, postwar restrike. (The original Confederate design pattern coins? Most if not all had mintage numbers you could count on your fingers. On the fingers of one hand, in many cases.)
A recent purchase. The final year that New Orleans struck the half dime, 1860. I love half dimes and liberty seated coinage so this was an easy purchase.
