<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Martha Lynn, post: 4239704, member: 101796&quot;]Let me throw this into the mix. During the civil war, rebel</p><p>forces seized three U.S. mints. In April 61&#039; they were still</p><p>in control of the mint in Dahlonega, Ga. and produced 1000</p><p>to 1500 1861 D coins. The die used for the obverse was</p><p>the 1860 D die.</p><p>&nbsp; Would these coins be considered forgeries or genuine ?</p><p>The governor of Georgia ordered that these mints start</p><p>producing confederate coinage. Would The governors</p><p>authority determine whether these were forgeries or</p><p>genuine? They were U.S. mint dies on the obverse after</p><p>all. I don&#039;t know what was used for the reverse. If the rebs</p><p>created the reverse die then it is all kinda of crazy mixed up</p><p>about it being genuine or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
