✅ SOLVED Civil War Brass Eagle?

[EC.Mason]

A buddy and I went detecting at an old house foundation here in Eastern Kentucky. I found, what appears to be a brass eagle. I looked it up on the internet and it says its from the Civil War, but I wanted to get your alls opinion. I hope its Civil War! Below are front and back pictures. Thanks for any help or information on this.

EC Mason, let me encourage you about your house-site hunting. You are much more likely to find a gold coin at an 1800s (or early-1900s) house-site than at a civil war battlefield. I've been a relic-digger for 39 years and I've yet to find even one gold coin.
