<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2925878, member: 15199"]The confederate half dollars had a confederate reverse and the obverse was a US shaved down 1861-O half dollar that was used for the end result. There are only 4 reported, that were made officially. However some sell the real 1861-O US half dollar that had the obverse distinguishing features but the original reverse rather than the confederate reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1861-O-PCGS-G04-CSA-Confederate-Obverse-FS-401-WB-102-Seated-Half-Dollar-/142600952604" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1861-O-PCGS-G04-CSA-Confederate-Obverse-FS-401-WB-102-Seated-Half-Dollar-/142600952604" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/1861-O-PCGS-G04-CSA-Confederate-Obverse-FS-401-WB-102-Seated-Half-Dollar-/142600952604</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay, Etsy, Swap meets, have imported copies from the far east ( see Aliexpress) for examples, and that is most likely what you have, although photos would clarify.
