Owner Comments:

On February 9,1861, after resigning from the U.S. Senate,Jefferson Davis was selected to be the provisional President of the Confederate States of America.The first shots of the Civil War occurred on April 12,1861 when Confederate forces opened fire on Union forces garrisoned at Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor in South Carolina.
The 1861 Seated Liberty Half Dollar listed here was graded AU-Details by NGC because the coin had been cleaned many years earlier.Although this coin was cleaned earlier it still has an overall pleasing appearance.
