Tough one for me:

1913 Gold Eagle

The decline from democracy to tyranny is both a natural and inevitable one.

    Why is that a tough one for you? Obviously to the left of the eagle, see the
    hairlines???

    The dealers are finally right; we CAN NOT judge a coin from an internet image!

    Wow! Winner of the eBay "Moonshot Photo of the week" with a closeup. I would have thought it couldn't be done.

    Looks like a half eagle rather than an eagle. No way would I buy a raw gold coin off eBay in this heavily counterfeited series even with much better pics.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    Perry you're good. But I'm gooder. I downloaded the pict, used my photoshop to clean up the glare & overexposure and it plainly shows that it's a $2.5 dollar gold piece.

    One of the worst pics EVER... But then again it's still a quarter eagle gold Indian.

    How can you tell that it's a quarter eagle rather than a half eagle? They both used the same design and the denomination is not clear in those crappy pics.

    It says so in the description.

    He also calls it an eagle and I trust this seller's description as much as I trust his photographic skills. It's most likely a quarter eagle and there is a small possibility that it's actually authentic.

    I concur. That << small >> possibility is why I would never buy raw gold from eBay.
    BTW, did you notice, Perry, that the seller's location is Perry Oh? lol

    That's obvious because the coin from Perry was posted by Derry.

    eBay has no bounds on absurdity.

    Three bids, too.

    Thanks for the chuckle, RickO.

    Roadrunner are you being factious or do you think it would be a good coin and a fast smooth deal?

    Sorry, should have highlighted the word "almost." Decidedly facetious.

    Ok thanks, RR. I didn't see anything about his feedback that rasied any red flags so I was just wondering.
