Where can you find information on the GSA struck 1861 O half dollar with obverse die cracks?

Answer

The General Services Administration didn't exist in 1861 and never struck any coins. Perhaps you mean CSA - Confederate States of America. There were only 4 original CSA half dollars, all from one die, so if one has die cracks, I'm sure they all do. And they are all accounted for in collections. The dies were later used by a private company to make approximately 500 "restrikes", which are fairly valuable, with or without any die cracks.
