1868 counterstruck Counterstruck 1868 Indian Head Penny in good dug condition. The images on this well worn coin are somewhat faint but the counterstruck detail G & E is sharp and clear. The date and lettering are legible and the back is also faint, but recognizable. The merchant's counterstrike makes this a unique collectible.

1809 Half cent 1809 U.S. half cent. This coin, minted in the year of Abraham Lincoln's birth, has seen a lot of action. "Liberty", amazingly, is mostly legible. There is a lot of wear and the edges have taken some abuse, but there's no mistaking this coin's identity.
Item C9050   $12.99

 
1860-0 dollar U.S. 1860-O Seated Liberty silver dollar from Virginia. This Civil War era coin shows excellent detail. Someone scratched letters on it, detracting from its appearance from the viewpoint of a coin collector but for an artifact collector, it adds intrigue. They may be "J. E. B.", or, perhaps, "I. E. B." (On close scrutiny, I believe it is REB). This dollar was recovered recently in Carmel Church, Virginia, near the site of Grant's headquarters during the North Anna Campaign. It was found 6" in the ground by a digger using a Minelab Explorer. (Specs: 17.2 dwt, .945 oz., 412 grains)

3 relic coins Three relic coins from central Virginia. One is a seated Liberty half dime. The last two years of the date has a ding, making it illegible, but there is an arrow to the left of the date. This indicates it was minted between 1853 and 1855. The date on the large cent is illegible. The hole indicates that it may have been worn, perhaps by a Civil War soldier. The other coin is of unknown origin. It appears to be "dos" something, perhaps centavos; this is a guess. The date looks as if it might be 180_.

Two large cents Two U.S. Large Cents recovered from Civil War camps. One is a Classic Head cent. The date is almost impossible to read; it looks as if the last two digits may be "10", making it an 1810. Traces of "Liberty" are noticeable. The back is a little better defined. The other piece is a Braided Hair cent. Most of the front shows very good detail, including "Liberty". Nevertheless, the date can't be determined. The last two digits may be "56". The back shows a lot of ground action. (Comes from Sgt. Riker's Trading Post in a cardboard coin holder.)

Ulysses Grant Civil War era Ulysses S. Grant medallion. This medallion measures about 1 3/8" in diameter: a little bigger than a US half dollar. I personally recovered this one in a Confederate campsite at North Anna, Virginia last year. I found it under a piece of slate at an old house site beside the camp. I had read that reading a dozen times before I realized it was not the rock that was reading & that is probably why its is such good condition.

Granville Stokes Token Granville Stokes Pennsylvania store token. This half-dollar-sized token is in excellent dug condition - clear detail and nice patina. This store, located at 609 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, made "fine, fashionable clothing", according to this 1862 dated token.

1840 Hard Times Token 1840 Beck's Public Baths, Richmond, Virginia (Hard Time Token). Charles Beck is recorded in the October 1832 Richmond City Deed Book as the Confectioner who operated a public bath on the south side of Main Street, between 13th and 14th Streets in Richmond. It is noted that the baths were operated through 1844. This token has been graded by Numismatic Conservation Services as HT-441, VG Details with some ground action. A novel piece, showing a nude woman testing the bath waters - quite risque for the 1800's. This token has a good deal of wear and displays two minor nicks on the edge which appear to be old and I am not aware of the purpose they may have served. Recently I became aware that a mint red specimen of the Beck's Baths token sold at the Bowers and Merena Auction for $3450.00.
Item MS4006 Priced to sell at  $325.00
