If you simply wish to own an example and couldn't care less about the date or any additional interest factor, there are plenty of options, but do note the design changes over time; perhaps one appeals to you more than the other.

While you're not likely to find the ever-popular "nose die crack" variety on the cheap (at least without a fairly targeted effort), it is certainly possible to identify and acquire one attributed to the CSA, USA, or even iirc your home state (which is why I'm mentioning this).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Don't get me wrong; it's not a bad list per se, but isn't anywhere close to what you presented in as being and could be problematic for one taking it as such. Mr. Santini... What you're seeing isn't uncommon. Not always realistic, of course, but not uncommon. If you simply wish to own an example and couldn't care less about the date or any additional interest factor, there are plenty of options, but do note the design changes over time; perhaps one appeals to you more than the other. Also, if you've an interest in civil war history, searching out an example of the 1861-O by die marriage may be a worthwhile option.
