1861 Confederate half dollar Newman lead

After nearly eight decades off the numismatic market, an 1861 Confederate half dollar that is part of the Eric P. Newman Collection will be auctioned publicly for the first time in November.

An 1861 Confederate half dollar believed to have been at one time the property of Confederate States of America Treasury Secretary Christopher Memminger and off the numismatic market for nearly eight decades will be auctioned by Heritage Auctions in its Nov. 1 and 3 sale in Dallas of Part IX of the Eric P. Newman Collection.

It is the first public appearance of the coin at auction.
