Coin and Paper Money Collecting/Confederate coin

Question
I have a confederate 50 cent coin. It is dated 1862. Every coin I have seen is dated 1861. It is identical to the 1861, but is dated 1862. The back has a 50 and below the 50 is the word cents. When was this coin struck? Is it a repilca? How do I find the value of this coin?
Thanks

Answer
it is a fake worth very little
