Thick lead disc with much corrosion to the surface and very hard to read. Some of the name and regimental designation is visible but very hard to make out.  Disc belonged to John S. Coter of Co. H, 106^th New York Volunteers. 

Coter enlisted on August 20, 1862 at Ogdensburg, New York. The regiment did guard duty until their first engagement at the Second Battle of Winchester on June 14, 1863. They joined the Army of the Potomac just after Gettysburg serving in the 3^rd and then the 6^th Corps. They took part in all the campaigns of 1864 up to and including the Siege of Petersburg. The regiment took part in Sheridan’s Valley Campaign and were engaged at the Third Battle of Winchester where now Sergeant Coter was wounded on September 19, 1864. He died on the 10^th of October and is buried in grave #460, section 14 of the Winchester National Cemetery.
