The L.W.Bristol Classics is a known maker of Confederate coin reproductions. There are only 4 authentic 1861 Liberty Seated half dollars with the Confederate reverse. This piece has no numismatic collectible value.
There are only 4 known genuine 1861 C.S.A. Seated Liberty half dollars. Many replicas and counterfeits exist.
No, only 4 Liberty Seated half dollars have the Confederate reverse and are dated 1861.
If you have a Seated Liberty dollar dated 1875, then you have a counterfeit -- the last year for them was 1873
The Liberty Seated dollar has the same diameter as Trade, Morgan & Peace dollars, it's 38.1mm. The thickness is 2.4mm.
All genuine Confederate coins are dated 1861 not 1862, you may have a Liberty Seated half dollar that is dated 1862, but it was not made by the C.S.A.
Aside from the minor differences in design, the greatest difference between the US Trade Dollar and the Seated Liberty Dollar is the weight. The Liberty Seated Dollar weighs 26.73 grams while the US Trade Dollar weighs 27.22 grams. Both contained 90% silver and 10% copper altthough the Trade Dollar had slightly more silver in it. The Trade Dollar was issued primarily for circulation in the Orient while the Seated Liberty Dollar was issued for circulation in the USA.
It is a counterfeit.
The weight of the 1847 Liberty Seated dollar is 26.73 grams.
The 1847 Liberty Seated Dollar reverse is not the same as a Trade Dollar dated 1874. The eagles face different directions, Liberty Seated is left and the Trade Dollar is right. Also on the obverse of the Liberty Seated coin the body is facing right with head left and with the Trade Dollar the body and head are both facing left. The only way a 1847 dollar would have the reverse of a 1874 Trade Dollar is if it's counterfeit. I suggest showing it to a collector or dealer for their opinion.
This is a Liberty Seated Dollar and circulated coins are valued at $300.00 to $1,000.00 depending on condition.
