#10 - A 58 Caliber Civil War Minie-Ball Bullet
The common three ring, .58 caliber "minie ball" of the Union army. Often dropped in the heat of battle, these examples are not dented from impact. The white lead oxide is the common coating after years in the ground. Specify if you want a "dropped" bullet that was likely unfired or a mushed-up one that hit something in battle (tree, rock, person). Due to being buried & later dug up, the dropped minies are not absolutely perfect, but they have a nearly intact original shape. The fired minies (see lower picture) are mushrooms, gnarled and smushed into interesting shapes! The price and shipping fee is for one (1) bullet.
