Got this Confederate coin years ago, and I know its a copy or replica, but I don't even know if the confederacy actually made these or was this some type of post CW fantasy issue..
Thanks for looking.

And just to be clear, I've never heard of anyone finding one with a metal detector either ..

The link you sent shows 1861 50 cent coins that were minted, but no 1 cent coins minted during the Civil War..
So what do I have and what is its value ?
(all the others listed were minted in the 1960s or after the CW)

I've only been able to find the particular coin you posted dated 1861. I also have a replica of the same coin dated 1861. As it looks to me, these coins were originally minted in 1861, with restrikes in 1874 and again in 1961. All have the 1861 date though as I've been able to find.

As real or replica? I bought mine years ago at Gettysburg NPS Visitor Center.

I don't know, I got mine years ago in a trade I think, so I don't know where mine came from
.
I don't know anything about what is on fleabay.. How they get them, where they get them, what they are made of..
Probably have "made in china" stamped on the back ..
