Description
This is J. W. Scott's 1879 restrike of the Confederate half dollar, struck with the original Confederate reverse die on an 1861 half dollar. J. W. Scott & Co. of New York bought the Confederate reverse die in 1879. Scott shaved the reverses off 500 half dollars dated 1861 and struck them with the Confederate die, after first striking 500 white metal tokens with the same die; the die was then defaced (ANA). The obverse of a restrike still shows the flattened Seated Liberty design and date of the host coin. PCGS number 340402.
