This coin is a genuine Civil War issue silver half dollar struck by the State of Louisiana at the New Orleans Mint on Federal dies in February 1861. This coin also has the extra pedigree of being part of the largest treasure trove of U.S. coins in history. 51,000 coins and over 14,000 artifacts were recovered from the SS Republic shipwreck, a Civil War-era side-wheel steamship en route from New York to New Orleans that sank in 1865 after battling a hurricane for two days. This coin comes in a stunning wooden display box with Certificate of Authenticity.
