Dearborn Moderator United States 95644 Posts	Posted 04/29/2024 11:11 am It looks like a modern made token/medal from the 'American Mint' Company. I found another coin that has the same exact reverse as your, but the obvers shows Thomas Stonewall Jackson on it on ebay. this one has a COA with it and explains that is it part of the "Southern Leaders of he Civil War" collection. Here is that ebay listing to help you out: ebay item number:116055050607 Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Djrev757 Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 04/29/2024 2:44 pm Thank you very much =), yea I seen the series and wrote it on the container but wasn't all too sure if it was actually a part of the series as I can't find a single one with him on it then I assumed it was made 3rd party in a garage so I just thought id ask and see if anyone can confirm it is. But one other issue I have is all of those are (if I remember correctly) 32 grams so almost 5 grams heavier which is weird if its part of the same series. Report this Post to the Staff

Djrev757 Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 05/01/2024 4:21 pm Meant to reply yesterday sorry. Talked to them yesterday and they emailed me this My question is now: Mine is fake right? Given its severely underweight at 27.63g? She said it was scheduled for release in 2014 which aligns with the others I found but she nor I could find it anywhere online and is only referenced in this pic she sent me (so it seems). I know its a real coin (not mine but the coin series design) because she said it was scheduled for release so it had to have been made and has to be online SOMEWHERE lol. If mine is fake I'm ok with that but by golly I'm going to find this dang coin before I die lol. Its like a song stuck in my head and I gotta know the name. Report this Post to the Staff
Djrev757 Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 05/01/2024 4:26 pm Tried 2 scales just to be sure and 1 said 27.637 other said 27.653 so the weight is accurate. I havent measured the diameter but its literally juuuuust wider than a morgan (so I'm assuming its 40mm which is correct size). Idk if it looks correct since I can't find a pic to save my life but the back matches with the others from the series as far as I can tell with no variation. All in all it seems like an authentic one besides the weight and the face theres no trace of the coin whatsoever online or in the Mint registry outside of the 1 pic I sent you (she literally couldnt find it anywhere else). But the WEIRDEST part is she sent me an email that has the series on it (she tried to upsale me on the collection lol) but the coin wasnt on the pic of the series she sent but "was the one with my coin". So how the heck is it not even on the pic of the series but all the others are? This is a weird situation lol Report this Post to the Staff
Djrev757 Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 05/01/2024 4:30 pm I think I found it right after that last comment lol..thank god Report this Post to the Staff
Djrev757 Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 05/01/2024 4:38 pm Can someone ease my mind and please tell me this is the right coin lol. Theres only 4 coins in the series so it has to be it right? Name looks off but can't get a better pic as this is the one she sent in low quality (worst since I had to reduce to upload) Report this Post to the Staff
