Was surfing the web for Large Cents when I stumbled over this.

No words were spoken save one. SOLD.

J338 in silver or J339 if copper. These were restruck also. If real, one of only a dozen or so in each metal, and a multi-thousand-dollar coin.

I can go with, maybe, a period-correct, test-pattern type coin but you also have to look into the fact it's not a real 1863 SL Half Dollar.

Your coin obviously has an abbreviated version and I can't read what it says in the middle of the scroll but the full motto should read "In God We Trust". I don't see that there.
