Hmmmm, I want one, too. Think I can get one through the local coin dealer.

Looks like coins in F-VF condition are pretty reasonable about $10-20.

And I see it's a half-dollar, which was a pretty good pallette on which to work. I really admire the coin designs of the early part of this century.

I wouldn't be surprised if I buy one of the Stone Mt coins in the near future, in spite of my disappointment that Davis is not on it.

I did some looking to see if I could augment the purchase with a Davis coin, but it is not readily apparent that more than a few exist, or that any are for sale:

Although the paper notes of the Confederacy are the well known pieces, the coinage is not as well known - for a long time, by even the most generous of definitions, the total coinage bearing a Confederate legend amounted to no more than $2.12.

The Jefferson Davis Dime certainly seems a rare piece.
