Here we have a nice example of the 1821 U.S. Half Dollar. This one has some wear from being carried. As you can see, the coin has a hole drilled in the top which was very common during the Civil War. Soldiers would tie the coin to a string or chain for safe keeping. This one has a very clear date of 1821 and would make a nice addition to a soldier's belongings display. Comes in a riker case for display.
