Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 753 Posts	Posted 08/22/2020 11:42 pm I don't think this is authentic. Maybe it is a replica? Or some type of copy? The real 1852 Half Eagle has the Coronet/Liberty Head design, like the 1886-S one in these photos. Edited by Adam590 08/22/2020 11:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6390 Posts	Posted 08/23/2020 12:24 am Not familiar with this one. It has all the inscriptions of a United States coin but it's no coin I've ever seen. It certainly wasn't made in 1852. What are the diameter and weight? Does it have any edge lettering? Report this Post to the Staff

I too believe it isn't authentic but if I can get more information on it I will share it to this post. Thanks everyone I appreciate yall's help. Report this Post to the Staff
