U.S. Draped Bust Cent in good dug condition.
This cent was excavated in central Virginia and cleaned with electrolysis.
We can't get a legible date out of it, but there appears to be a faint "17"
on the lower left. Based on the leaves on the back, this is a Reverse of
1797 cent, indicating that it was made between 1796 and 1807.

holds the distinction of being the first coin to bear the words, "In God we trust,"

"Trust" is visible. All other numbers and letters are clear.
Item C9064 $14.99

Bullet-struck large U.S. cent. This
cool piece was recovered in Caroline County, Virginia and was
struck by a pistol ball - probably a .36 caliber. The coin has not been cleaned
or altered, and it is guaranteed to be authentic. As you can see, this was very
close to being a center-shot and was probably done on a bet.
Item C9059 $129.99 |
|
 |
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 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 |
|
 |
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)

1773 Virginia Half Penny with a period after

coin of its age and is easily the best dug Virginia Half-Penny I have
ever seen! All lettering and numerals are legible and the seal is beautiful.
Item C9034 $299.99 |
|
 |
1857 Flying eagle one cent piece. Dug in a Union
Civil War Camp in Central Virginia, this coin shows ground action but the words and
date are legible and sharp. Near the wing is a small dimple that appears to be an
attempt at creating a hole for the soldier to wear.

|
|
 |
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_.
Item C9032 All 3 for $12.99

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.

with "1" inside a sunburst in the center. There is a hole in the token,
as if someone wore the token.

Early token stamped "J. N". (Usage unknown.)

Granville Stokes Pennsylvania store token.

made "fine, fashionable clothing", according to this 1862 dated token.
This token is also mentioned in the book, United States Tokens 1700-1900,
by Russell Rulau, page 509. Note that "Chestnut" is misspelled on both sides,
as Rulau's book also mentions.

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

Richmond, Virginia Merchant's Token.

dollar but much thinner in composition.) Somewhat worn but easily read
with the naked eye.
