The odds are that any Confederate half dollar you run across will be a fake or reproduction. An experienced coin dealer may be able to tell you that it is definitely a fake, but I would not take his word that it is definitely genuine. If a dealer thinks it is an original, you should submit it to one of the third-party grading and authentication services.

I don't know what the T after the date is but I know it's fake. Confederate coin reproductions are sold all over the southern states in gift shops, real Confederate coins are pretty much accounted for.
All genuine Confederate coins are dated 1861 not 1862, you may have a Liberty Seated half dollar that is dated 1862, but it was not made by the C.S.A.
