Yeah it was great that the only way the north could insure a victory for a centralized government the first income tax which your hero lincoln copied from his friend marx,despite outnumbering a bunch of farm boys by 4-1, was the systematic murder of old people, women and children, especially in Georgia. That "victory" single handedly destroyed perhaps the most important aspect of the Constitution.

You have no case. You already failed the course.
The study of Numismatics, so termed from the Greek word Numisma, meaning “legal money” is the science pertaining to the coins and monies of all times, places and peoples, considered especially from their historical and artistic aspects, and by extension numismatic science embraces also the most important branches of archaeology, being an unfathomable source of precise knowledge concerning bygone persons and events, who albeit their living importance would have left but few traces behind them but for the coins which bear their names and effigies. >>
Dear Mrearlygold.
You sir have exceeded my expectations with your witty banter and compelling arguments. I officially reverse my stance and will in turn put two bits into the collection box under the coffer at the next Daughters of the Confederacy meeting. With brain power as is yours at the South's disposal, the north was lucky indeed to escape with there hides!!!! xoxoxoxo crypto79
John, I have not read that book, but there is a lot of info on the KGC on the Ancient Lost Treasure website Here..
That looks like an interesting site. Bookmarked it. Thanks

Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set: 1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S. Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
This one shows the horizontal die crack extending into the forehead of Lady Liberty, and from what i understand, is a sign that these were minted after the Confederate rebels took over the Mint.
Obviously, this one has seen better days, as it is holed and has black toning spots. I'd like to think that "Johnny Reb" holed it and used it for good luck shortly after the Confederates took New Orleans, but who knows for sure? Of course that is merely speculation, but someone certainly knew what they had, and intended to wear it as a momento. The details on the coin are well struck, and much of the original design is in great shape.
It was an interesting year at the NO mint that year. The mint was issuing official US coinage, then was taken over by confederates who continued to coin US coinage albeit illegally, then the confederates produced some of their own, and finally back to official US coinage. It would have been interesting to have been a mint worker at the time.

Amen! I always hate threads like this, not so much because they couldn't be very educational and interesting, but because they quickly become shouting matches where each side has no desire to hear what the other side has to say.
Broadstruck, your ability to lead us across the sands and up the mountains to the Bosom of Truth, using so few words, is simply without equal. Respectfully, John Curlis
Actually, during the ninteenth century the Civil War was referred to in slang as "The Ball"
Such as......"Where were you when the Ball opened?'
The South was in desperate need of recognition by a foreign power during the War. England came closest, however Queen Victoria read a book by someone known to her, the British Actress Fanny Kemble. The book was entitled "Journal of a Residence on a Georgia Plantation", and was penned in the late 1830's by Kemble, who had married a very wealthy man named Pierce Butler, of Philadelphia. After (yes after) the marriage, she found out his wealth was derived from family owned Rice plantations in Georgia. Much to Butlers dismay, Fanny and the two little girls accompanied him to the Georgia plantataion for one season. There, Fanny seen first hand the brutal squalor and oppression that the Masters people lived under, and began the Journal. Though written some years prior, the Journal was not published until 1863.
While "Uncle Toms Cabin" did stir popular sentiment against slavery, Fanny Kembles book was known to be truth, rather than as some speculated with the Uncle Tom book, a piece of fiction.
Queen Victoria, after reading "Journal of a Residence on a Georgia Plantation" decided to not recognize the South as a "Nation in Belligerance", which would have possibly let the British Navy breach the Union blockade and come to the aid of the South.
BTW Frances Anne Kemble was an Amazing person, a woman far ahead of her time with an uncommon genius and a gift for writing. Any of her books are a wonderful read, her insight and outlook upon the culture of her day brings it in vivid life before our eyes.
My interest in "The Civil War" is what prompted me to collect coins. I have 1861-1865 US dated coins in every ( except 3 dollar gold) denomination from one cent to the twenty dollar gold and 1861-1864 CSA currency from 1 dollar to 500 dollars.

Unfortunately, that heritage comes with a lot of baggage.
I grew up in Louisiana and then later Virginia. I am sure that I'm not the only one here who remembers experiencing segregated public facilities and other abominations, and I'm not even 50 yet!
The response of my homies in white Southern suburbia to MLK's assassination 40 years ago this month was quite eye-opening and strongly influenced my social and political beliefs to this day.

The idea behind the movie is " "what if the south had won "
its very thought provoking....if you ever get some time, take a look

See it has spurred this brilliant well thought out comment that helped us all learn a little something about coins. I'm done this isn't worth my time.
yet you replied well after making that statement, being from the north and not a racist I find your remarks to this thread
silly.

I prefer these from the Civil War. It was captured from a Blockade Runner and taken from the Captains Quarters.
