Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 3:07 pm It's a fantasy souvenir piece that was made to sell to tourists at civil war sites back in the 1960's. I've seen plenty of them. Report this Post to the Staff

ghostrider Pillar of the Community United States 1116 Posts	Posted 03/06/2012 9:37 pm Granted that I am a relative newcomer, but if I had seen the auction I would have been tempted had I wanted to add such a piece to my collection. However, I wouldn't have been tempted at the price that was paid. For some reason I would be thinking that the CSA had coins. I know that they printed their bills on rice paper that is decaying as time passes. It is a curiousity but again not at the price paid. If it was me I would be royally hacked right now at someone (wouldn't know whom). Report this Post to the Staff
RoyalBaber New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 2:32 pm It happens all the time with fantasy pieces. I like Chinese fantasy coins, but I would be very hesitant to purchase one without doing my research first or having someone look at it. Report this Post to the Staff
