[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 188565, member: 66"]I believe thear are only one or two civil war tokens that were issued in the Confederacy. Almost all of them were issued by merchants in the north. The Confederacy did strike coins at New Orleans, Charlotte, and Dahlonaga. The problem is they struck them from Union dies which makes them almost impossible to tell apart. The only one that we definitely know came from the Confederacy was the 1861-D gold dollar because the Union did not strike any before the mint was captured. There were also 1861-D half eagles struck but I think they were all struck by the Union. Charolotte struck 6,879 half eagles in 1861 but only 887 of them were struck by the Confederates. New orleans struck 2,991 double eagles for the Confederates, but at this time we can't tell them from the Union or State of Louisiana coins. Then we come to the half dollars. 2,532,633 coins. 330,000 for the Union, 1,240,000 for the State of Louisiana, and 962,633 for the Confederacy. Thanks to indepth die varity study and the determination of the die chaning and emmision sequence, we CAN tell which coins were struck for the Confederacy.[/QUOTE]
