    Thanks, can you tell I don't have a "direction" for my collection? I just pick up whatever looks cool.

    I like the design, but hate some of the history tangled up with it's creation. The sculptor and artist behind it was an active KKK member, for one thing.

    One of my friends recently made the statement that the South lost the war, but won the insurgency that followed (likening it to what's going on in Afghanistan and Iraq). I wanted to disagree, but they made some compelling arguments (citing the massacre of African-American occupation troops who were there to ensure fair elections during Reconstruction & the way that most Civil War "mourning" monuments in the South look suspiciously like Victory monuments).

    Recently picked one of these up myself.

    While I think it's odd that the Stone Mountain Monument shows 3 heroes of the Confederacy & this coin only shows 2, I can understand why the mint decided putting Jefferson Davis on a coin might be going too far. Besides, Mississippi had already put Jefferson Davis and John A. Quitman on a "dollar" in 1915 (HK408):

    Beautiful BTW! People who haven't tried don't appreciate how hard it is to find a truly nice Booker T. Washington or Washington Carver half.
