Anyone got a pic of a 1799 LARGE stars Eagle?

My icon is small stars, but they look awful big.

I had a 99 years ago, but don't remember much except the cleaning and general unpleasant look to it.

I .....think ....... it had large stars. They ALL look big to me.

    Nice coin Tahoe...it's hard to even find someone that has a used one of those much less a beauty like that one. I've been asking around, just to get a look but no one will bring one up if they have one. If those wern't so expensive, I've got some indians that would like a nice lookin girl like her sharing space. You can't even look at one very hard for less than one thousand American dollars. And hey...nice stars!

    Boy, there's sure not much difference.

  • There is a difference. I can see it from the pics. The 'arms' on the small star variety are thinner with more space between them, while the large stars 'arms' are fuller, with less space in between.
