Just watched the movie "Copperhead"

I just finished watching the movie "Copperhead". Very moving and riveting.

There is a serious numismatic tie-in in the early part of the film.

Anyone here catch it?

For those of you who haven't watched this, don't give up on it. It is a bit slow in the beginning but quickly gains momentum.

    Not about a snake? Perhaps some dangerously obsessive EAC collector? "Riveting"? Maybe "striking" would be a better word image

    EDIT to add - I see, a Civil War film. Maybe I'll look, thanks. I have been watching Ken Burns doc on the same - it's been added to Netflixx.

    Is it about the Peace Democrats?

    Let me guess, Adrian from the forums (ANACONDA) has a cameo appearance in the film?

    That's odd ... I was watching Ken Burns' Civil War just last night, curious to hear again what was said about Gettysburg.

    Some copperheads cut out the Liberty head on large cents and used them as lapel pins. I've never seen one of those pins.
    Let's try not to get upset.

    Okay, so nobody got it.

    Early in the movie some people are gathered around a piano. The girl pulls out some sheet music for "Am I Not Man and A Brother". You can clearly see the image of kneeling slave on the cover of the sheet music, the exact image portrayed on the anti slavery token (Broadstruck where are you? Please post an image of this token.).
