sigistenz Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Watching the EM eagles of the 1802-1810 series a little closer reveals quite some eagle side variants. As on the two 1804 coins below. Note the different crowns, 4 eagle feathers hanging down or 5, among other minor details. Click on the picture for a close up. Enjoy, show yours.

alexbq2 Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Well done Sigi! You live you learn... Mine has 4 feathers, I'm guessing 5 feathers is scarcer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowns are different as well. I don't know which one is scarcer. To get an idea, it would help to compare with m-dv. Sigi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigistenz Posted April 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I did not go for the 2kop1802KM, I have one in my collection, not as nice however. I am still waiting for the 3 coins I won in his March auction. On each reminder he replies that due to the virus they are stuck in his Moscow office. And that he will send them "asap" . Sigi .

squirrel Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Sigi, I was looking at your website collection again.. always enjoyable. Your photography is excellent! I notice the variants in the 1802 EM type eagle feathers. Also quite interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigistenz Posted May 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Well, here they are, the 2nd one is a novodel. I don't collect novodely but included this one as it came at the price of a business strike Sigi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gxseries Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I knew I had this particular type in my collection but couldn't remember what year it is. Turns out I bought it about 15 years ago. (time flies...) Think this is 4 feathers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
