That is a very cool seated dime. I learned something today I assumed they were also silver, I didnt even think it ? Thanks for the pictures and education. I learn everyday on here, thats the nice thing about this forum.

The American Civil War, in the United States often referred to as simply the Civil War and sometimes called the "War Between the States", was a civil war fought over the secession of the Confederate States. Archaeologists made a massive discovery of civil war artifacts at a location in Fredericksburg, VA, while researching a site for a new courtcouse. The crew had searched for property records prior to digging, but prior to 1886, no records of a building existing on that site were found.
