[QUOTE="Martha Lynn, post: 4239704, member: 101796"]Let me throw this into the mix. During the civil war, rebel forces seized three U.S. mints. In April 61' they were still in control of the mint in Dahlonega, Ga. and produced 1000 to 1500 1861 D coins. The die used for the obverse was the 1860 D die. Would these coins be considered forgeries or genuine ? The governor of Georgia ordered that these mints start producing confederate coinage. Would The governors authority determine whether these were forgeries or genuine? They were U.S. mint dies on the obverse after all. I don't know what was used for the reverse.
