<p>[QUOTE=&quot;carlamos, post: 326077, member: 12090&quot;]I have come across a coin which appears to be copper or bronze.&nbsp; It is dated 1862 and the obverse states &quot;Confederate States of America.&quot;&nbsp; The obverse also contains a bust of Liberty.&nbsp; The reverse of the coin says &quot;1 Cent.&quot;&nbsp; Just below the denomination is a cotton bale and two wooden barrels.&nbsp; The reverse also contains an ear of corn and a wheat stalk.&nbsp; I can&#039;t find any mint mark.&nbsp; The coin&#039;s diameter is slightly less than that of the modern US Quarter and&nbsp; slightly larger than that of the modern US Nickel.&nbsp; I do not have a scanner, but found an image of the coin at the following website:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.rebelstatescurrency.com/page11a.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.rebelstatescurrency.com/page11a.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.rebelstatescurrency.com/page11a.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The image is toward the bottom of the page.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Could this coin be authentic and, if so, does it have collectors&#039; value?&nbsp; Thanks for any input!!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/TODDGO%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
