Civil War and Confederacy

Union Army XI Corps Badge Fashioned out of an 1861 Liberty Seated quarter. Extremely Fine.

The reverse of the quarter has been planed off and replaced with a finely engraved federal shield superimposed with a crossed anchor and cannon, the emblem of the IX Corps. The pin and clasp of this attractive badge are still functional. The XI Corps was active from 1862 to 1865, during which it took part in such famous Civil War battles as Chancellorsville and Gettysburg.

Estimate: 500
