big777bill Valued Member United States 376 Posts	Posted 12/13/2010 8:07 pm The Civil War ended in April 9, 1865 @ Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia. So it is possible that the coin was damaged in a later battle such as the Wilderness Campaign, Spotsylvania or maybe Cold Harbour. That is one of the things I really like about Indian cents is the potential history that they could have been involved in just by who may have had possession of them at any given time. The imagination can go wild! Specifically if you happen to be a Civil War buff. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 12/13/2010 8:50 pm Thank you. I have a couple CSA notes, a 10 and 20 I will share in the near future. I will take a closeup of the hole with a loupe and post tonight. Maybe there is some ragged, sharper edges around the hole which may further support our argument of it being damaged in battle. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

thecoinczar Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 12/14/2010 03:01 am Such a nice coin! What a shame, but I have several holed coins. Mostly Half Dimes and dimes from the 19th century. If it is an attractive coin I don't really mind the holes because it would be one that would be much more expensive if it wasn't holed! Report this Post to the Staff
