What is it I have an old five cent coin with the American Indian and Buffalo on either side but no evidence of year it was produced?
Sounds like you are describing a buffalo nickelMoreCorrect, it's a buffalo (a/k/a Indian Head) nickel. Unfortunately the date wore off many early-date buffalo nickels (1913 to 1925) due to a design defect. These coins remain extremely common and sell for 10 to 25 cents in a dealer's "grab box". The design flaw was corrected in 1926 so later buffalo nickels are normally found with intact dates.

What were southern soldier's uniforms like during the civil war?
The ideal Confederate uniform was either a beechnut brown, or grey. It looked similer to the Union uniform, though adapted to Rebel classifications. Many soldiers did not own real uniforms, as the Confederate government was unable to supply all of its soldiers with complete uniforms. Many soldiers just wore their own clothes. Some took the uniforms of dead Rebel soldiers, after a battle or skirmish, for their own use. This was common especially when one was in need of shoes, as many soldiers had to go barefoot as the War progressed.
