When I question something on eBay I go to the sellers feed back to see what they are selling and to see if they have any knowledge of what they are selling. In this case most of what the seller moves is skinny jeans and beer signs So I would have to doubt they have any knowledge of canister balls. I would pass

Are they Lead ? I'm unfamiliar with Canister Shot, But Civil War Lead should be White by now.
& if cleaned It's as good as Fake, Because the Proof is Gone.

If Steel , nevermind No opinion :coffee2:

I have another guy I like to buy from who has these. I think I'll just stick to him, and let these go. Like I said, they look to "perfect" to me.

I asked him where he got them, when, and if he would offer his own handwriting as a guarantee. If he balks, then we know.

He said his dad bought them from a relic hunter from Nashville. Good story, but I don't know if I buy it.

Seems like 'Petersburg ' is where he 'says' he dug most his stuff. So ???

I'd likely stick with the guy you know 'IMO'.

Anybody who calls a GS or US .58 or 'I' button "Rare" . I would choose not to deal with / that seller. IMHO.
