Disappointing T2 2021 Gold Eagles

To fill my date run I got the 2021 Type 2 1/4 and 1/2
Gold eagles. I just don’t care for the new reverse (didn’t like the T 1 reverse either), not that the eagle head is poorly done - just unattractive that strikes me as missing something.

    I like the new designs on both silver and gold eagles.

    The reverse is so disproportionate to the obverse, maybe that's a reason to dislike it. A graceful portrait of Lady Liberty on the obverse and a massive bold eagle head staring at you on the reverse.

    Maybe in proof the images will pop a bit more?

    I really like the new silver eagle (though there is some room for improvement), but the new gold design is atrocious IMO. I will take an eagle nest over a decapitated chicken head any day of the week.

    Absolutely a dang chicken head. The gold is hideous the silver is better but why did they clip the wings. I’m ok with this turn of events add the 2021 t 1and t2 and be done with it! I’m not buying into Morgan’s and peace dollars year after year. Looks like we are going to be saving lots of money. I was hoping in person they might be nice but junk is junk

    Well.... I will wait for a dip in gold price to get one... on the secondary market. Not adding gold at these prices, don't want to add cost to my clear profit stacks ;) Cheers, RickO

    Is the decapitated head of an eagle some sort of symbolism?

    It's just bullion.

    I prefer the type 1 designs on both coins. The reverse on the new type 2 ASE reminds me of the reverse on the Ike dollar. The reverse on the new gold coin is especially disappointing.

    Have they released the max mintage for the 1/2, 1/4 ounce coins, or are they minted to demand?

    What is this max mintage for the bullion coins? Not aware of any.
