<p>[QUOTE="silentnviolent, post: 1537865, member: 8797"]Looking closer at what I can see, the tops of the impressed wings do not match those of the washington quarter. It could just be the fuzzy pics, but it looks very round at the top, whereas if you pull out a quarter and look at the wings, they are more pointed at the top. also, at the base of the 'wing' on your coin (base meaning the portion that would be closest to the body) it is very thin on this nickel, whereas on the quarter, the base of the wings extends from the top of the eagle's breast all the way down to the eagle's feet. One explanation could be that it may match up with the top layer of <i>feathers</i> on the wing.... It's got me wondering, but unfortunately until you post clear pics that is really all I can say. It is definitely intriguing, and regardless, worth setting aside. Good eye! And welcome to the forum! Good luck with the photos![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
