US Civil War Coin Post

There is something special about US coins from this time in our history.
When I see one, I just want it. Wish I had built a collection based on it.
Show us what you have from 1861-1865, if you wish.

A trying time for our nation to say the least. Being a Civil War history nut, I collect civil war patriotic and store card tokens.

 

beautiful proof HD, Larry! I don't have anything even close to that level of preservation.

 

The only thing I've got from that era.........

 

Just ordered this one to add to my collection. It's an NGC VF-35.

 

While this 20$ no motto has uncirc details unfortunately there are cleaning marks on the obv. The reverse has full cartwheel, though.

 

green18, is that a seriously rotated rev die on your 2 center?

 

Yup, that's the rotation.

 

Wow, that's really cool. I've never seen a coin that rotated!

 

I'm told that it happened quite often with 2 centers.

 

Nice 64s, sir; both of them. I've long been a great fan of civil war date LS50Cs (1862-65 anyway), so it's always a pleasure to see a nice solid survivor. Have you any others?

 

as a matter of fact, I just received another 1861 in the mail:




hope you like crust!

 

Stunning! Is that a proof?

 

Yes. It was lucky and graded 60.

 

I think I'm inlove
Is it for sale? My fingers are crossed that it is!

 

Sorry but no.

 

Darn Not even if I made an offer you can't refuse? Or maybe for a good trade?
That is one of the most beautiful coins my eyes have laid eyes on. Congrats on that one
