lahave56 Valued Member Canada 254 Posts	Posted Today 4H 5M ago Found this one while I was re-organizing things today. 11 stars if the hole erased one, otherwise 10. Tried google and Numista image searches without success. The closest thing I could find was an 1840 William Henry Harrison campaign medal with a "similar" eagle and banner on the reverse but Harrison on the obverse. 0.59g 13.06mm Appreciate any help giving it an identity.

lahave56 Valued Member Canada 254 Posts	Posted Today 1H 43M ago The "sick" spread-legged eagle also resembles one seen on the reverse of a Canadian half penny token from the early 1800's (cf. Imitation Seated Britannia / Spread Eagle Token Charlton reference LC-54B3). I thoght I've seen it on CCF somewhere also but can't find it. The crudeness of the design (e.g. misshapen shield, crude lines) and mushiness of features make me think fake but for what purpose. Report this Post to the Staff

Also noticed that this post https://goccf.com/t/466254 references a spel marke that has a liberty head with 10 stars. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 27417 Posts	Posted Today 1H 18M ago Here's one that I have that's about 13 mm. The Liberty head and eagle were common motifs on spiel markes. Generally, they are well- marked like this one, however. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
