Extremely unlikely that it is real, could be one of the early restrikes. Can you post pictures?

 

Unfortunately, no it is not real. It is a cast replica.

 

Dang ..well thanks anyways

 

Posting so maybe I'll know if a picture gets posted. Been looking for a deal on CSA coinage.

 

Jennifer, you should have added the photos to this thread. Now, you have two threads with the same title. You need to notify the Mods to combine these two threads. You can do this by clicking on "Report" at the bottom of my post, and ask the Mods to combine them.

Thank you, still fairly new at this site. Hopefully the pics are up now

 

Well darn I actually had my hopes up.

 

You know, a good deal on Confederate coinage might be the same year half dollar (1861-o), New Orleans mint. It is interesting to read the mintage figures for the production of half dollars by three different governments that produced the 1861-o. Even coins of this date/mint that are not conclusively Confederate, are likely produced by the rebels. Please correct me the more learned.

 

Made in China circa 2016.

 

Stuckey's sold those throughout the South in the 1960s.

 

Crude fake. This is a CSA minted 61-O. Half bisected date speared olive bud

 

I forget the exacts, but you're right... it is believed the majority were minted by either the State of Louisiana or the Confederate government (or as you call them, "rebels").
