Bryanlogie New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 1:02 pm At a garage sale I found two coins which appear exactly like the gold 1885 S Liberty Head (With Motto) Half Eagle, however, my coins(?) are silver in appearance. Is this an actual coin, or could it be a reproduction? If a reproduction, how can I tell? I am not a coin collector, just have an interest in old coins. Any insight would be appreciated.
