Mirage83 is correct... it is the "3 raised rings with solid-flat-base" variety of US .52-caliber Sharps "New Model" Rifle/Carbine bullet. Other varieties of it have a small cone-cavity in the base, or a teat-in-cavity base. See bullet #113 in the updated "Handbook Of Civil war Bullets & Cartridges" by James E. Thomas and Dean S. Thomas.
