SCOTT RESTRIKE STORY

  Regarding the story of the unsold Scott restrikes of the
  Confederate Half Dollar, Gar Travis sends this quote from
  an item written by Q. David Bowers:

  "Scott decided to strike impressions from his die, and he sent
  out circulars offering silver restrikes at $2 each, agreeing to
  have only 500 pieces struck. It was doubtful if over 250 were
  sold, as Scott had a plentiful supply of them for over 30 years
  thereafter. He gradually raised the price to $15 each."
