Slim, You posted your photos on your profile page as 'media' rather than as a insert photo. The camera icon in the reply box at the end of the thread where you answer a post allows you to add media. Many use a service such as photobucket to insert a url ( the 'picture' icon after the emoticon icon ) at the top of the reply box. Jim

 

Haha, the more you read threads from people who "know what they have" the more you will question whether their debate is intelligent. Having said that, the whole point of this forum is to expand Numismatic knowledge. Sometimes the debate teaches both sides something.

 

Thanks Jim. How about now?

 

I don't know these well, but it kind of looks cast, due to the softness of the features.

 

Yes, I can see your photos, but the coin is not the original, restrike, nor restrike with defaced dies. Sorry .The easy to see difference on the reverse is the numeral 1 with it's long 'bill' and the wreath that comes almost to touching . Also on the obverse the fonts are different. In the 1960-61 era, ( especially in the former confederate states) there were very large numbers of these sold to celebrate 100 yrs. The were said to be in every souvenir stand and gas station in Ga. jim

 

Trying this again!

well there goes that! Thanks Jim
