The following 1,240,000 pieces were struck after Louisiana seceded from the Union, and the final 962,633 coins were delivered under the authority of the newly established Confederate States of America. Writing in the 2013 reference A Register of Liberty Seated Half Dollar Varieties, Volume IV, Bill Bugert breaks down the 14 known die pairings of this issue by the governing authority under which they were used.
