<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 143066, member: 66"]Definitely sounds like a fantasy piece sold as a souvineer at Civil War battle sites etc. The Confederacy DID strike half dollars, over a million using Union dies and exactly four using their own Confederate die and a Union obverse. These coins are well documented both in Confederate documaents and numismatic ones. And the locations of all four Confederate half dollars is known. (Although oddly enough the location of the Confederate die is not known. I believe it was donated to the museum at Louisiana University, but they claim to have no knowledge of it or its location.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
