USA (New Orleans mint), Seated Liberty half dollar, 1861-O, Louisiana issue (die W-07), NGC SS Republic / Shipwreck Effect (A) AU. KM-A68. When Louisiana seceded from the Union on Jan. 26, 1861, it continued to strike half dollars at the New Orleans Mint. This continued until the state joined the Confederacy on March 21, 1861, placing control over the mint to the Confederate Treasury. Lustrous, original surfaces with a touch of saltwater corrosion near the date and some light circulation wear on the design's high points, some small spots of red toning. With certificate from the salvors, pedigreed to our Auction 23, with original lot-tag #615. NGC #1798298-088. Recovered from: S.S. Republic, sunk in 1865 off Georgia
