- A handsome and desirable example for the type with warm golden-copper patina on surfaces that retain hints of original mint luster. Both counterstamps are strongly applied, the FLA. evenly so, the 25 just a bit uneven with minor softness at the lower right corner of the digit 5. As described by Charles B. Rogers in his comprehensive two volume reference <em>Unlocking the Mystery of the Counterstamped Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial Half Dollar</em> (2019), this is one of the "State Auction Coins" of the Harvest Campaign. The Stone Mountain Confederate Monumental Association, which counterstamped these coins to use in publicity and for raising additional funds for the monument, approved 12 Southern state societies and the District of Columbia for participation in this campaign (North Carolina joined later; Missouri had no auction coins). Florida was one of these states.
