It is worth it's weight in lead. It would appear to be a 3 ringer. Keep at it the good stuff is soon to come. H.H.

To answer your question, it is Northern. If there is a "star" on the inside, it would be a Washington arsenal, That was the makers mark" for that bullet, but your photo is so blurry on that pic I can't tell.

It's referred to as a Minne Ball, not because it's Miniature, but because of the man that invented them.

His name was Claude Etienne Minié, inventor of the Minié rifle. It came to prominence in the Crimean War and American Civil War. I just thought you'd like to know.

Im thinking its Confederate. Look at the ring angles
