sigistenz Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hi, see left the normal 5kop1785EM eagle (on a 1785/4EM overdate). The coin on the right side shows a slightly different eagle, drawing up shoulders as if shrugging. Any comments? Sigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Yes, definitely can see it. The wings have a little extra curve at the (elbows?) about the level of the v between the two necks. This brings them closer to the ornaments around the coat of arms at 11 and 1 o'clock. Maybe the eagle is shrugging due to todays Russian coin prices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I'm not too sure if I agree yet. It seems that the 1785 eagle is double struck, making it seem like there is some wierd feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
