In order to rapidly create an industrial base rapidly, the Confederate government began to create socialized industries. One of these were the ordinance factories. They had built eight by the end of 1862 and produced an impressive amount of ammunition in a short period of time.
No Confederate coins exist dated 1862. All are dated 1861.
The 1862 Confederate coins were struck by the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. The primary mint responsible for producing these coins was the Confederate Mint in New Orleans, Louisiana, which operated under the authority of the Confederate government. The coins were created in denominations such as the half dollar and were made from silver and gold, intended to help address the South's currency needs during the war.
On February 23, 1862 Nashville, Tennessee was the first Confederate state capital to fall to the Union. New Orleans was the first major Confederate city captured, however this was in April 1862.

No, because no genuine 1862 Confederate half dollars exist. Any "Confederate half dollars" dated 1862 are either fantasy pieces or counterfeits. The CSA only struck 4 trial half dollars and these were dated 1861. By 1862 the New Orleans Mint had been recaptured by the Union.
In the Battle of Galveston of 1862, 400 Union troops had surrendered to the Confederate forces and were captured, as well as one gunboat being captured and another destroyed.
