History of the Artifact


Without a doubt, the Carbine that fired these lead bullets was one the most famous firearms used during the Civil War. Designed and patented by Christian Sharps in 1848, the Sharps Carbine was superior to most weapons available during the Civil War. The carbine was superior to most guns in various ways. It offered greater accuracy (especially at long distance) than the commonly used muzzle loaded rifles muskets such as the Enfield and the Springfield. Being breech loaded, it allowed for faster reloading times and it was generally produced with a higher quality of manufacturing. Unfortunately, all these qualities came at a cost, manufacturing one of these rifles cost an average of 3 times the cost of producing a normal musket. As a result the carbine was often issued to sharpshooters. The carbine was also particularly popular in the U.S. cavalry given its practicality as a shorter and lighter gun to carry on horseback than the cumbersome and awkwardly long muskets that were issued to the infantry.

Now, the same bullets that were carried and fired by the legendary Sharpshooters and Cavalrymen of the Union Army in the infamous battles of Antietam, Bull Run and Gettysburg to name a few, are available to you neatly protected inside our elegant glass top leather cases ready to be displayed in your collections! Own a genuine piece of American History!

I ordered this coin for my grandson, he loves anything Roman history and was thrilled. I didn’t receive the authentic certificate with it, I contacted the seller and asked if he could send one out to him. He responded right away and is sending it right out. I would recommend to everyone. Very good customer service and arrived early.
