bobr New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/27/2014 1:52 pm I see coins with United States of America listed as confederate. This one looks similar to some of I've seen on Google but I don't understand the R to the right of the shield. This coin has been in storage for over sixty years. I don't think it would be ink? Does anyone have any ideas about the R or the value of the coin from viewing the pictures? Report this Post to the Staff

bobr New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/27/2014 1:56 pm I thought that might be but I haven't seen any other images with an R in that location. Report this Post to the Staff

The original Scott restrikes http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/340402 would have had 19 buds on the reverse. Common replicas, like yours, often only have 17 buds. Report this Post to the Staff

hcmusicguy Pillar of the Community United States 814 Posts	Posted 02/27/2014 2:34 pm I have one of these also, except mine is stamped "COPY" above and to the left of the shield, right next to the turban-looking thingy. Mine also doesn't appear to be cast. Report this Post to the Staff
