Souvenir - novelty - fantasy tokens, yes. This listing is but one of many thousands that make ebay a monetary minefield that will cause your dollars to go up in smoke. Yet, in comparison to many listings I've seen, the downside for any buyers of these "Confederate" items is comparatively negligible. Report this Post to the Staff

Any other denomination is a fantasy piece. All of the original half dollars and cents are rare and generally beyond the means of most collectors. The Scott restrike of the half dollar and the "restrikes" of the cents by Robert Bashlow, which were struck on transfer dies, are the most accessible substitutes for these coins. The Charlotte Mint ($5 gold pieces), Dahlonega Mint ($1 and $5 gold pieces) and the New Orleans Mint (half dollars and $20 gold pieces) did make coins under Confederate auspices. Those pieces were made with Union dies that made no mention of the Confederate States of America. Report this Post to the Staff

The film is about modern day treasure hunters locating a "Confederate battleship" in Africa.
