<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chaarlie, post: 21014, member: 1556&quot;]My scanner doesn&#039;t seem to like this coin, so I&#039;ll try to describe it -</p><p>dated 1861, with a seated, robed (?) woman with a shield at her feet with the word &quot;Liberty&quot; inscribed.&nbsp; Woman is holding a staff of some sort.</p><p>The date 1861 is raised but the small &quot;T&quot; next to it seems to be engraved.&nbsp; There are 13 stars - circling about 2/3 of the coin.&nbsp; On the back there is centered a shield with (looks sort of like the Texaco shield) with 7 stars in 2 rows across the top and 7 vertical stripes across the bottom.&nbsp; There appears to be a tree on top of the shield and on either side, coming of from the bottom of the shield are plants/leaves/stalks - I don&#039;t know what to call them, but different on either side.&nbsp; Below this &quot;Half Dol.&quot; in raised letters and around the other 2/3 of the coin reads &quot;Confederate States of America&quot; - also raised letters.&nbsp; What can you tell me about this coin?&nbsp; Is it a real coin? If so, what is it worth?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
