<p>[QUOTE=&quot;claycad, post: 669757, member: 17987&quot;]This isn&#039;t a coin, but another attic treasure (maybe). Again, I found this amongst junk, thought it looked pretty interesting so I searched the internet for information. There are currently two listed on ebay, one for $1,700 and one for $1,800. But there are also replicas for $10-$25. So the question is how could I go about finding out if this is authentic or a cheap replica?</p><p><br /></p><p>The pin on the back is a threaded like a screw. I have no idea where this could have came from, I know that some of my ancestors last name&#039;s during the period were Messick, so perhaps that is what the M stands for in W.R.M. They were from the West Virginia area so it&#039;s possible that they fought for the confederacy, but I really have no idea.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j288/jambog/front.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j288/jambog/angle.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j288/jambog/bottom.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j288/jambog/back.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j288/jambog/pin.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
