Alan V. Weinberg comments: Legendary Civil War figure Colonel John S. Mosby aka "The Gray Ghost" was a real Confederate thorn in the Union's side. Those of us old enough to remember, there was a Warner Bros TV series in the late 1950's starring B movie actor Todd Andrews starring as "The Gray Ghost" , Confederate Colonel's uniform and all. The coin's reverse initials "P.J.B." is very likely Joseph Bryan , editor of the Richmond (Virginia) Times-Dispatch, whom Mosby trusted as friend and courier (info courtesy of the Maine Antique Digest March 2009). |
