D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 11/09/2012 9:25 pm Definite fake. The reverse looks a lot more like the one found on the 1838-1839 half dollars than on Seated half dollars. Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 11/09/2012 9:57 pm D0ubl3Eagle, you're right! Does seem to be copying from the Capped Bust half dollar's eagle. Beak still wrong for both, though! Report this Post to the Staff
