1. Very attractive, 1841-New Orleans, seated Liberty dime.  This dime was recovered from a Confederate Cavalry camp occupied in 1863 and located here in Middle Tennessee.  The dime does show some actual circulation, but the date and the "O" for New Orleans remain clearly legible.--$75.

2. Absolutely drop-dead beautiful, excavated, 1852 - O (New Orleans Mint), silver half dime.  This dime was recovered about 40 years ago from the camp of the 8th Texas Cavalry and literally looks like it just left the mint.  You can literally still read "Liberty" as clearly as the day it was made.--$195.

3. Very pretty, excavated, 1859 - O (New Orleans) half dime.  This is an unusually nice, excavated, Civil War Era coin, and you can still read full "Liberty" on the face of the coin.  This coin was recovered from the camp of the 2nd Tennessee Infantry - CSA which was located near Tullahoma, Tennessee, and occupied during the spring of 1863.--$85.SOLD*

4. Very nice condition, excavated, 1857, 5 Franc large silver French coin.  This coin was recovered from an 1862 - 1863 Confederate Infantry camp, and close by the coin, this rare, .69 cal., triangle base French Minie was found.  This is a very nice display of artifacts from France relating to the American Civil War.--$125.

5. Very pretty excavated 1853 date silver HALF DIME.  This was recovered from a NOV. - DEC. 1862 Texas Cavalry Camp located South of Nolensville, TN.  The coin has a hole where the soldier had apparently been wearing it on a string around his neck, but it is otherwise really nice with a full "Liberty".  I once had a soldier's letter that said that soldiers wore coins around their neck so that they could always purchase "one meal".--$45.SOLD*

6. Excavated, "1858 - 0" silver HALF DOLLAR.  This coin was recovered from the camp of the 16th Alabama Infantry and is one of only a handful of larger denominations of silver coins recovered from the 1863 Army of Tennessee winter camps along Duck River near Shelbyville, Tennessee.  This coin shows quite a bit of actual wear and circulation.--$125.

12. Very nice condition, original February 17, 1864, printing of the Confederate $10 note picturing the horses pulling the cannon motif in the center.  This note remains in very nice condition but does show a small amount of circulation.  This has always been one of the most popular Confederate notes because of the horses and cannon scene in the center.--$89.

20. Very attractive excavated 1853 Federal silver quarter.  This coin was recovered from 1863 Army of Tennessee Confederate winter camps located along Duck River near Shelbyville, TN.  The date remains crisp enough to see across the room, and you can still see most of "Liberty".  I'm sure that the soldier who lost this coin was VERY unhappy at the time !!!  A silver quarter would buy THREE GOOD MEALS during the Civil War Era !!!--$95.

21. Quite rare and very attractive, Confederate T9, July 25, 1861, $20 note with the sailing ship.  This note remains in nice condition, but is unfortunately glued on each corner to a clear plastic backing.  It remains very sound and displays nicely and is a note that does not often become available.--$150.

26. Very pretty condition, excavated, 1846 - O, half dollar.  This coin was recovered from Confederate General John Hunt Morgan's CS Cavalry camp occupied during the spring of 1863 and located near Liberty, Tennessee.  This beautiful coin was recovered by one of my early relic hunting buddies who recently passed away.  I was hunting with him the day he found this coin.  It has crisp detail, and you can still read full "Liberty".--$350.SOLD
