Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 09/07/2024 5:12 pm Maybe this should be under the general numismatic forum, but um unsure. (I know the photo of the 1846 is terrible) I'm deciding 1) 1897 p full eagle circulated; diameter is right weight is 16.75 g 2) 1846 half eagle - possibly cleaned and more circulated;diameter is right, details worn, 8.25 g. 3) both. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/07/2024 5:52 pm Much sharper and larger images needed of the 1846 coin needed. C'mon. Report this Post to the Staff
Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 09/07/2024 5:55 pm I know! I admitted that in my post. I think I'm just looking more generally...based on my terrible descriptions of the two coins. Probably shouldn't have posted. Report this Post to the Staff
johnhenry9009 Valued Member United States 244 Posts	Posted 09/07/2024 6:16 pm I'd go with the 1897 Eagle as that appears to original, the 1846 Half Eagle on the hand does appear to have been polished. Report this Post to the Staff
Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 09/07/2024 6:17 pm I was leaning that way and felt the half was ex jewelry and there appears to be almost no premium on it as a "moderately scarce" date. Edited by Roma2021 09/08/2024 04:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
