Do bald eagles pluck out their own feathers?

According to some, it is said that the bald eagle at around age 40 years flies to high ground and over the next 150 days knocks its beak off and allows another to grow in its place....apparently as the eagle ages the beak bends out of shape...the eagle continually bangs the beak against the rocks until the beak falls off....then a new beak takes its place.....once the new beak is in place the eagle then tears out its claws and new ones grow back in......this allows the eagle to live another 30 years or so.......the only problem I have with this is that the eagle cannot eat for those 150 days....so how does it survive.....further I have never heard nor seen an eagle that has been found without a beak.....so your guess is as good as mine ----- Edit by Thycondrius ----- Actually, eagles(including the bald eagle you mentioned) do not lose their beak or talons, unless by extreme action. The Eagle Rebirth is a Urban Legend and its not true. Normaly, losing its beak means death by loss of blood. Eagles, like all other animals, cannot "Choose" to extend their lifespam byy any means, and live normally till 30Y old. So "NO", eagles do not put out their beaks and talons and cannot support 5Monts of starvation.(They are not bears for christ sake)

At what age do you turn bald?

It's different for different individuals. Aside from a physical condition, men can bald typically anywhere from their late twenties to well in their latter years. Then again, while their may be some hair loss, some men never go bald. My father was bald in his late twenties. I am now 63, and still have a full head of hair. So it just depends on an individuals genetics.

What would be the value an 1846 Seated Liberty Dollar no mint in good cond with United double struck on front and the eagle on reverse printed with head same direction as Liberty on front?

Liberty's head faces the left and so does the eagle no matter which way you turn the coin. the word UNITED is not on the obverse (front) of the coin but on the reverse in the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above the eagle. Lay the coin flat with obverse up, turn the coin left to right and the eagle should be upside down each time you turn it. If the eagle is rightside up, you may have a rotated die error but I think it's more likely a counterfeit coin. Take it to a qualified professional for an assessment
