When is a United States coin NOT a United States coin? It's not a trick question, but an amazing fact of American history. The year 1861 saw the mintage of silver Seated Liberty Half Dollars at the New Orleans Mint by three sovereign governments: the Union, the State of Louisiana and the Confederate States of America.

And now you have an opportunity to acquire coins minted by each government!
