This is an excavated 1860-dated Indian head penny recovered from the Union 5th Corps field hospital located near the Fiscel Farm.

The Division Field Hospitals of the Fifth Corps were established July 2nd at the Weikert House and other houses near Little Round Top and along the Taneytown Road. During the night they were removed across Rock Creek and located as follows: 1st Division south of White Run on the Fiscel Farm. 2nd Division 100 rods south of White Run near the Clapsaddle House. 3rd Division one half mile west of Two Taverns and near the Pike. These Hospitals cared for 1400 wounded and remained in operation until August 2nd 1863.

This penny remains in very good “dug” condition with nice green/brown patina. All details remain clearly visible. Dated 1860.

Recovered by local relic hunter Ed Miller and sold at a local auction of his relics at Redding’s Auction. This was lot number 317 and is so marked on original bag.  [jet][ph:L]
