Description

"1861" (1879) Confederate Half Dollar. Scott Restrike. Breen-8002. AU Details--Scratch (PCGS).

An example with much to offer the advanced Liberty Seated half dollar or Confederate State of America collector, there is actually a lot of "coin" here for the assigned grade. The reverse is mounted up in the PCGS holder, and it shows typically sharp detail for both the type and the assigned grade. Obverse definition is expectably softer, but still with more detail throughout Liberty's portrait than seen in many Scott Restrike CSA half dollars. The PCGS qualifier concerns a few wispy scratches but, fortunately, they are concentrated in the obverse field areas and do not inhibit one's appreciation of the Confederate design on the reverse. Wisps of pale steel and gold iridescence enhance otherwise silver-gray surfaces for this satiny and relatively appealing example.

PCGS# 340402.
