1861 Confederate States Silver Half Dollar Inquiry 0

[Nosainte]

Hello All,

 I was recently doing some digging through some coins that we have in the family, and I came across this specimen: 

After some research, it appears to be a 1861 Confederate States Silver Half Dollar (Scott restrike?). Am I on the right track? What is this coin's potential value? Thank you very kindly for the help!

Counterfeit. Actually a replica sold to tourists in many places, especially at Gettysburg PA, Stone Mountain, and other Civil War battlefields. These have been around for a long time.

They have no numismatic value.

Since the reverse has a big hint on it  word  Copy

Technically, the word COPY is too small to comply with HPA.

   According to the "Redbook", the Scott Restrikes were made in or after 1879 from genuine 1861(-O?) U.S. half dollars whose reverses had been ground off and impressed with the recently discovered Confederate reverse die.  They are easily distinguishable from a replica like the one posted here, with or without the word "COPY". To see what they look like, go to 1861 50C CSA Restrike (Regular Strike) Confederate States of America - PCGS CoinFacts.

Ferraris wait for no man. (Unless for Shelby Fords)
