When I first saw this, I didn't know what you were talking about, so I went to the mint's site, but the best I could guess was the one from Gettysburg:

For a less blurry view of the Vicksburg one:

Sadly the detail on the cannons is lost with that iron clad getting in the way.......  ::)
.

DD never needed marbles he has steel balls .... errr let me rephrase that..... he has cannon balls.....
an if you did all pitch in and get him some marbles all he'll do is build a cannon of a suitable bore size
and shoot them all......
