[Jason in TN]

One of my buddys found this coin hunting a civil war camp today. Has a name scratched into it. Any Idea on a date?

Very Cool the head looks a little different on the top one. Akin Miller is the name on this coin. Another picture to give you a Idea on the size of it.

Wonder if research could be done to find the unit or company the soldier was in? Would be interesting.

Oh, and also agree...a reale for sure!

Great find.

Looks like an 8 reale! You really should research that name...this could be a very valuable find!

What an amazing coin and terrific subsequent research done by Neil. That's totally awesome. Wonder why the indentations on the rim? This is a glorious find, IMO. WTG.

WOW-Sweet find-and is there anything you can't find out on t'net?

 

[romeo-1]

On the pillar side it looks like "Akin Miller Money". Looks like just "Miller" on the heads side. Someone photoshop this thing!
