Sometimes when searching for CW relics things Like this coin come out of the ground. Thought you coin guys would like it. It's possible a CW soldier could have possibly dropped it, as lots of relics found around it.
I bet 99% that it was indeed dropped by a civil war soldier. They were constantly marching, setting up camps, running, and ducking for cover so it's almost a guarantee they would have scattered the contents of their pockets by accident along the way.
one of the most beautiful coin ever minted. I have been fortunate enough to find a couple from older homesites and glad to see you saved one that belong to a Soldier of the Civil War. Congrats, Bill
Looking at the condition of your coin I would think perhaps someone that fought in the CW may have lost it but probably lost it 20 years before the war began. It just has such wonderful detail left. Congratulations.
That's a great find for any of us - way to go !!! That was only about a 30 year old coin during the Civil War - and it certainly saw
action before that time (wear before it was dropped ) a very wonderful find .
