The reverse (or eagle side as I would say if I wasn't trying to guess at the correct numissimologologistical terms) of the Classic Head Quarter eagle (1934–39) is a bit bashed about. Belle (talk) 16:33, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Belle- "numissimologologistical" is my favorite new word of the day. The coin is a proof strike (frosty reflective surfaces) and almost certainly never saw a second of circulation. The marks are likely (but I can not say with absolute certainty) from the actual production process.--Godot13 (talk) 17:58, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Support then (if I have your word you didn't get it out of the kitchen drawer where you keep the mystery keys, dead batteries and expired coupons from 1996). Belle (talk) 22:10, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Classic Head Quarter is described as 1934-39. I'll assume a typo rather than a time traveller.Otherwise support as a nice selection of coins Lemon martini (talk) 23:10, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
