    For me it's a toss up between the eagle on the reverse of the GAE (2nd row far right) and the St. Gaudens 3rd row right):

    If you haven't seen the series of reverse eagles on the American Platinum proofs, they are absolutely wonderful, IMO (Sincere apologies for those with dial-up connections):

    I like the very first eagles... they were so simple, yet at that time, they represented so much.

    Most of the Eagle reverses I've seen lately were players chasing the Tampa Bay runners. image
