This is for all you Liberty loving, anti Lincoln, anti war, Southern sympathizing Northerners out there. Copperheads (Butternuts) believed the Confederacy had a constitutional right to secede and didn't want to see Americans killing Americans for some thing called a Union. The unionists and abolitionists called them Copperheads (snakes). The Copperheads proudly accepted the name and made pins by cutting out the head of Liberty from a one cent piece.
This is my version. I couldn't find my silver solder or brazing rods, so I just glued the the attachment on the back. I'll correct that later.
My great, great, great, Copperhead Grandaddy would be proud that I am carrying on the tradition.
