1800 gold quarter eagle counterfeit

[Relicific]

Found this little guy last week.I wasn’t sure what I had at first.could make out the heraldic eagle
,but it looked like copper to me.After cleaning it a bit I could make out the capped bust.my friend
Later told me it’s most probably a quarter eagle gold counterfeit.Hopefully next time it will be the real deal.

Yes, a real one would be great, but that's not only a great find, but it's in pretty nice shape. I'd be happy with that find any day.

That's probably contemporary to the date ! Awesome find !! I'm guessing it's a rare find too !!

Totally awesome find. I saw a real one of those once at a coin show. I have never seen another (gold one) since.

With all its gold gilt it has layered in there when It was created!

if you ever get a chance to go to the ANA Money Museum in Colorado Springs, Colorado I highly recommend it. For the most part, the museum is 'ok', but the star is that it currently houses the Harry Bass collection. It is simply amazing. https://www.money.org/money-museum/Harry-W-Bass-Gallery
