<p>[QUOTE=&quot;okbustchaser, post: 2179765, member: 72642&quot;]The inscription in the upper right field reads &quot;Cadet Robertson 1845. In the left (behind Liberty) Roberston is repeated.A note: As gentlemen military cadets were expected to never be completely without funds. Thus it became a common practice to carry a pocket piece--often from one&#039;s birth year. A search of West Point archives comes up with Beverly Robertson--born June 1827, appointed to USMA1845, and graduated class of 1849. He went on to become a CSA general during the Civil War. One has to wonder if this was his coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v395/bustchaser/1827/144o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v395/bustchaser/1827/144r.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
