Civil War era coins are very special treasures, it was a time in our nation when it was split and near chaos, it was a time when an old way of thinking and barbaric ways of slavery were to be abolished.   Abraham Lincoln would not bow down to the Confederate ways because he was determined to keep our great nation one! It was a crossroads in our country’s pastime which proved to work out the right way. To own any coinage from the 1861-1865 is unique and should be cherished by whomever owns a piece.
