It is a good read but don't take it as historical fact, it is more historical fiction. While it is based on the Battle of Gettysburg, considerable...
Who is the Jackson that declared it over on May 10?
Make sure it is actually at least AU and not cleaned or it is not worth $4.
If it is a fake, it is a darn good one. I would be careful with it and have it authenticated. If genuine it would be worth at least a couple...
Fifty stars on the flag, can't be too old! Doubtful there is any value, as stated there were so many private medals made.
Unfortunately it is not a 1652 New England coin. It may be a counterstamped Spanish coin. Larger photos showing more detail may help.
The Confederate coin appears to be a replica. What errors are you seeing?
I've yet to see a Liberty cap cent I didn't like! Congratulations.
Yeah, we are still waiting!
Rosa Americanas and Connecticut coppers. Sometimes other things catch my eye, but these are the ones I am working on.

You'd think they would at least know the difference between Unc. and Proof.
I too only have one Vermont landscape, same variety as yours ksparrow. Mine unfortunately doesn't have nearly the detail of yours however. I...
I don't know of any documentation, but no question that is a copy. As you state it is base metal with a copper coating which is flaking off. The...
Conder is right, I have seen quite a few of these replica Massachusetts coins with the "R". The genuine coins do not have it.
Now that is a match. There were too many differences to explain away with wear and die state. I was pretty sure from the start that the obverse...
I guess I may be blind and brain dead, but I am still dubious. Oh well I have been called worse!
When I saw him a year ago with hair cut short and shaved, I didn't recognize him. Happy to see he is returning to his old self!
Not even sure if Chris Young is a member, but he is good. If Dave Palmer and Will Nipper agree it looks promising.
Separate names with a comma.
