Today marks the US Army’s 245th year. I would to see how many forum members served the country’s largest military branch, and a coin that somehow relates to that service. Personally, I wore brass for the branches of artillery, infantry, and Judge Advocate General’s Corp.
I did some suffering in Dahlonega at Camp Frank Merrill when I was much younger. This 1842-D (Large Date) $5 is one of my first purchases from DWN (photos courtesy of Jenna.)
Happy Birthday!

Very cool and historic. Do any of the grading services authenticate and slab these? I've read they have been heavily counterfeited. Of course, yours look like it's quite real since it looks like it's been through a war.

Lieutenant, U.S. Army Engineers. Got lucky. Did not receive orders from the Army to report for active duty after receiving engineer training in 1971.
Navy Lieutenant Commander John S. McCain, shot down over Hanoi on his twenty-third bombing mission during Operation Rolling Thunder in October 1967 not so lucky. Captured by NVA and POW for over 5 years in Hanoi Hilton. John S. McCain, true American hero.
