This is by far one of my favorite depictions of the eagle. I think its very majestic.
I just picked it up on Ebay. Nice BIN also.
Any thoughts on it?

I agree! Strong and proud comes to mind.....

Its American to the core.

I like it. I think it'd make a great reverse for a coin

nwcs · April 30, 2003 3:47AM

That is, a regular issue

That's always been one of my favorite eagle depictions, along with Gobrecht's flying eagle depiction on the experimental dollars of 1836-39.

I like the bald eagle too, but for goodness sake its a raptor. It eats mice, snakes, squirrels,

rabbits and even a McDonalds Quarter pounder if it can get its claws on one.

That's a stunning eagle and a beautiful coin. Some eagles to compare it to.

That is my favorite modern commem due in large part to the ornithologically correct eagle.

There are several other modern commems with nice eagles as well. I particularly like the renditions on the P.O.W. Silver Dollar and the U.S. Constitution Gold $5.

My favorite is on the 1999 $5 Washington

The 83' Olympic Commemorative is also nice and can be had inexpensively! The wing feathers are impressive as they so sharp as to cut your finger on a strong strike.

This is nice, I have the MS version in PCGS MS69, but I have to agree with berylcoin, the eagle on the $5 gold constitution coin is my favorite.

jeffnpcb · April 30, 2003 5:24AM

That's SWEEEETT! And $18 does not seem to be a bad price at all!

My favorite eagle all around is on the Walking Liberty half

And (God forgive me) I actually like the one on the Sacagacrappa

JNADAD · April 30, 2003 5:30AM

I agree paigowjohnny, Walking Liberty Halves Eagles are very nice too

How about this fellow? He was buried in with the totally over blown set that was sold for the Atlanta Olympics.

Nice pose. Looks similar to what will be the new reverse for the 2003 Platinum Proof (this Summer):

MacCoin · April 30, 2003 11:50AM

very majestic!!! I see an eagle on the way home from work the other month it was so close it just blow me away. he was setting in a pine tree looking just like this one on your commem dollar.

wingedliberty · April 30, 2003 11:51AM

Yes, you're right, I almost forgot.

Clearly says, "Don't mess with me"

I like that eagle, Brian.

Shylock--that is a very cool page you've put together with all those depictions. I've heard it said that the Bridgeport commemorative eagle you have at the bottom left looks like a giant shark.

I like the eagle on the reverse of the Lincoln commem. I don't think I saw it there.
