supgog Pillar of the Community Israel 2420 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 09:16 am Where did you get the coin? someone cut off both of her hands.. Also, the eagles head looks a bit funky. More like a wolf than an eagle (could be a hit, but the hair looks like an ear). Details look VF, but I'm not sure about the authenticity of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 09:29 am If real, looks to be about VF-25 or there about, but would probably get a details grade due to the two marks on the obverse on the wrists. Have you checked the weight & to see whether or not it sticks to a magnet yet? Report this Post to the Staff
srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3190 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 09:41 am I did weigh the coin and did the magnet test and both came back good, weight correct and non magnetic. Now my curiosity rises. I'll have to do more digging. Thanks folks for chiming in. Hopefully it'll turn out ok... Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 2:13 pm I don't really see anything alarming regarding the coin's authenticity. Maybe some striations indicating a brushing, but nothing yells "FAKE!" at me. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36808 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 2:16 pm Looks like a decent VF-35 or possibly EF-40 coin. Might have been cleaned at some point. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 03/05/2013 12:43 am I don't see any red flags with this coin. Surfaces appear cleaned like in the right obverse field near the sheaf of wheat. I will say it has VF-35 details. Report this Post to the Staff
