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.
7-25-11>>> Genuine Confederate coins (less than 20) are dated 1861, coins dated 1862 were struck during the civil war but were not struck by the confederacy. Also the C.S.A. never struck any gold coins.
No Confederate coins exist dated 1862. All are dated 1861.
Most confederate coins were struck by the New Orleans mint.
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.
No $20.00 coins were struck by the Confederacy at the New Orleans Mint. Replicas of the purposed coins have been made for many years and sold as novelty coins. Values are $3.00-$5.00 on eBay.
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.
It may be a token of some type dated 1862 or just a Indian Head cent. All 19 of the genuine coins made by the Confederate States of America are dated 1861. Take it to a coin dealer for an idea of type of coin and value.
There's nothing called a "currency dollar". In 1862 the US printed paper $1 notes and struck $1 coins in both silver and gold.
No matter what the date is of the coin. The Confederate States of America struck no gold coins of any denomination. It is NOT genuine.
A better description is needed, all genuine Confederate coins are dated 1861, the coin may be just an Indian head cent or a Civil war token. Post new question.
Confederate Patent Office was created in 1862.
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.
