take a nother stab at it pappy,please

[hellbille]

pappy,

i couldn't match this coin up with anything so far...civil war tokens..large cents..ect..i realize this coin is practically valueless,but it's killin me not knowin.this pic is worse than the last,sorry,best i could do!
anyways

if you were holding it you would see a spread winged eagle[wings spread sharply at 45 degrees]-everything compareable is spread too far,or not enough-
head of bird facing left.a shield at his breast[not to sharp]slightly rounded,& off center right.stars above his head.holding something in claw on right,looks like three leaves.

the other side has some original impressions but looks like i dont know what.

i'd really be grateful for another guess pappy.

thanx pap

that would be a better way boobie,thanx but,there isn't a camera in the world that would catch what little detail remains.

you have to hold it-turn it-angle it ect..to catch a glimpse..but it is there!

thanx

HELLBILLE, Does it possibly look like this? PAPPY

[hellbille]

thanx for gettin back to me pappy.

i wish it looked like that! or anything for that matter.

you wings are barely bent.mine are at 45. i saw a coin link on this tq site somewhere,i'm gonna give that a whirl.

thanks for your efforts pappy

Try taking pics without flash & with just a small lamp high over it. Better yet, take the pic outside without the sun beating down on it.

Could you maybe scan them?

[hellbille]

thanks for your suggestions!

it's a case of actually holding the coin i think.

it's so badly worn.i'm just gonna file it with the rest of the unkown soldiers!

thanx again

try rubbing a little black shoe polish on it,it will bring up the details and not damage the coin.
