CONFEDERATE HALF-DoLLAR4

Only Four Of Them Were Coined.
Did the Confederacy coin silver
money? This question is asked in the
Birmingham Ledger in reference to
a silver coin which has recently came
into the possession Of DR. NJ. 9. Rags
dale of McCalla. Ala. The coin in
question is a silver half dollar, bear
the date 1851, having on one side the
words, Confederate States Of Amer
ica," above shield upon which are
seven stars. above the shield a cap
borne on q pike. The reverse side of
the coin bears a figure Of Liberty with
thirteen starts above, and the date of
mintage below, This coin has aroused
much interest
1t was given DR., Ragsdale by
friend. DR.. S. r. Grout who was in
New York during the summer and re-
ceived it in Change" He was offered
$50 for it by coin dealer but brought
it home with him and gave it to his
friend
DR.. Ragsdale being DESTROYS of get
ting information as to the history of
his coin wrote me in regard to an ar
ticle from The New York Tribune
which / had read at a meeting of the
Thursday Club some three years ago.
Thinking the information which it
gives is of general interest to all
Southern people, 1 gave the substance
of the article using quotation marks
when the question is literal. The date
of the paper is not known, but it is
probably about 1900
There are doubtless few people out
side of the circle of coin collectors who
know that there were four silver half
dollars coined by the Confederate gov
eminent in 1851. OF these coins only
one is now known to exist being at
the time this article was printed, the
property of coin dealer of New
York City, Mr.. j. w. Scott, who values
it at one thousand dollars The OBJ
verse side of this coin is the same as
that Of the usual half dollar having
the Goddess of Liberty seated and the
date For the reverse side, however, a.
new die was prepared, having in the
center a shield bearing the Stars and
Bars of the Confederacy,-sev stars
representing the seven States which at
that time had seeded. A liberty pole
thrust through the shield bears a cap
on its tip. Ia wreath encircles the
shield composed ia stalk Of sugar
cane and a cotton branch. Above this
are the words, Confederate States Of
America" and beneath the words,
Half Dol"

three counterparts is interesting. In

at New Orleans. The Confederate
government, then seated at Montgo-
merry. Ala, decided to have new dies
made, and to start coinage of its
own at the mint It was determined
to begin the series with the silver half
dollar. In April Mr.. Memminger, sec
rotary of the treasury Of the confeder-
acy, having issued a call for designs,
selected the one above described. The
die was made by A. H. Peterson of
New Orleans. and four coins were
struck as specimen pieces, under the
direction of Dr. B. F. Taylor, chief
coiner for the Confederate States of
America
The Southern government, however,
was obliged to abandon the idea of
coming money, as they were wholly
without silver bullion, and April 30,
1861. the mint was closed, being but
a few days after the sample coins were
struck OF these four coins zone was
sent to the government, one to Prof
Riddell of the University of Louisiana,
one to DIR. E. Ames, Of New Orleans,
and the fourth. together with the die
was kept by DR.. Taylor" This is the
coin now in New York, having been
sold with the die, by DR.. Taylor in 1879
Ito Mr.. Scott. Three or four years
later the latter sold it at public auc-
ton for $500 Some years afterward
Mr. Scott bought 1t in a large collec-
ton which was offered for sale.
One of the coins, probably the one
sent to the government, came into the
possession of Mr.. jefferson Davis, but
was lost at the time he was captured
and has never been heard Of since. OF
t.a other two coins there has been no
defnle trace, though one was reported
to be in New Orleans in 1882.
Mr. Scott, had with great difficulty,
five hundred copies Of this original coin
made for the accommodation of coin
collectors, The copies were good, but
are Of lighter weight and not 50 per-
feet in milling. In the original also,
very small. fine line is observed on
the diverse. just above the head of
Liberty. This was caused by a tiny
crack in the die, and as this die was
net used in the restrikes the line
made b ythe crack is absent"
In al probability the coin in the pos
session Of DR.. Ragsdale is one of the
resttrikers." but should it prove to be
one Of the long lost original pieces, he
has not only a coin of great value, but
a most interesting and valuable

WHITE HOUSE MUM
ON BRONNSON CASE

The White House Is going to let its
critics do the worrying about the affair
of Admiral BrOwnsOn and the command
OF the hospital ship Relief. There will
be no further emanation from the Ex-
ecutive offices on the subject Tor the
present or for an indefinite future. The
President, in his capacity OF commander
in-chief OF the navy, will continue to
run the establishment to suit himself
confident that he is within the law IN
his position on this matter.
President Roosevelt was back in bis
ofhce today, but received few visitors
and did not attend to any business after
the hour for a tennis game It was
stated that the letter of resignation 81
Admiral Brownson is not 70 be given to
the public at present, and this was ac-
companied by intimatiOn that there il
no purpose of making II public.
The Secretary OF the Navy has not
issued the orders placing the Relief In
command of medical member of the
staff. but II. is expected these will be
duly issued. The President is appar-
emily determined to stand pat and paw
no unnecessary attention to criticism.
An official close TO the Administration
noted that the President will continue
on his President job for something over
a year yet and that people with ilspo-
siton to conduct the Job along lines
more satisfactory TO themselves than to
the President will probably continue TO
experience difficulty.
