<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MadDogE134, post: 18638, member: 1453&quot;]was wondering about the value of this coin other than sentimental value.</p><p><br /></p><p>as the story goes, the coin was in the pocket of my Great, Great, Grandfather Wiley C. Branam (a member of the Putnam Brown Rifles, Ga.) at Appomattox,&nbsp; the day Robert E. Lee surrendered.&nbsp; My Grandmother ended up with it and i received it at the time of her death.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure how long Wiley C. carried it since it was minted in 1858, but it is a fact that he was wounded at Manassass Gap, Sharpsburg, Maryland and was in rank with the Brown Rifles at Appomattox as stated earlier.</p><p><br /></p><p>it is near mint condition with tarnish only on the face as if it sat for an extremely long time.&nbsp; but considering what it went through and how old it is, it is in wonderful condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>so any ideas would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
