<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rocky Donovan, post: 1153086, member: 30364&quot;]Hello, </p><p>My name IS indeed Rocky, Im new to this forum but not collecting. I have never seen a coin like this one in my life and have looked and looked online for pictures, info, and value (though sentiment exceeds capital).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>** The coin is from 1865 (&quot;the war of the rebellion&quot;). It says &quot;per ardua surgo&quot; (rise through difficulties) and has a large eagle over a crest on the front with 2 ladies (similar <span style="color: black"><font face="Tahoma">to what is currently on the NY state flag</font></span>). It also has the State of new york written over the date. On the back it says (note there are gaps due to condition)&quot;presented to (space for name) by R Fenton, Govenor of the state of New York In **Gap** concurrent resolution of the legislature as a memento of the courage and fidelity with which he has served the state during the war of the rebellion.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thats all it says. I know it came from my ancestors from Ireland during the mass flood of imagrents which Grant the butcher used to push into the south. Other then that I was hoping someone could help me know exactly what I have and what it may be worth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
