<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 3001962, member: 77639&quot;]Reverse on this 1800 half eagle being auctioned by Heritage this week caught my eye.&nbsp; See pics.&nbsp; Obvious late die state based on the cracks.&nbsp; A few adjustment lines on one of the clouds and extending to the O.&nbsp; Also appears to be some clashing across the eagle’s breast and into the fields on either side.&nbsp; But what about the shield?&nbsp; At first, I thought it was a weak strike, but head and tail of the eagle are sharp.&nbsp; So it’s something to do with the die or maybe a strike-through.&nbsp; It’s rougher than the usual wear.&nbsp; Some metal flaking or rust? There’s a diagonal streak from the top middle of the shield to the arrow fletching.&nbsp; Is this copper toning or something more?</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]742887[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]742889[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
