<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 2461140, member: 44210&quot;]I remembered that I&#039;d say I&#039;d share my Civil War bullet (unfired), so here it is. According to the seller it was found in Petersburg, Virginia (site of a long siege from June 1864 to March 1865 that ended in a Union victory, during which the famous Battle of the Crater also occurred). It is around an inch long.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like to think, during the fighting, a soldier was getting ready to put this bullet into his rifle but got shot himself before being able to, dropping the bullet until it was found ~150 years later. Or probably (more likely lol) simply a bored soldier was playing with it and dropped and lost it, or it fell out of his pocket or something <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]516000[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]516001[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]516002[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]516003[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And here is a coin from the Crisis of the Third Century, possibly the worst era of civil war Imperial Rome ever went through.</p><p><br /></p><p>Victorinus</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi1197.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa429%2FLurkingNinja%2Fvictorinus_zpsoa7mx5rw.png&amp;hash=1f6f76bb71eb67e29918202b315e0329" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
