Not the only one, I much prefer the liberty as well. The only Gaudens double eagle I like is the early high relief as the low relief just ruined it's appeal.
That said, I love the new Buffalo gold coins the most.

I have the 07' in my just for fun registry set. Ready to pounce on the 07' proof when it comes out in a few weeks and can't wait for the fractionals. Staying on topic I don't really like the the current gold eagle with the Gaudens obverse either.

Actually, I forgot about the coin. I would have bid higher. Someone got a really good buy, IMO.

I guess that's why the 'D' mint mark isn't showing.

Then it is nicely toned.

Russ, you did good capturing the true color of the MS coin. Mine looks a little yellow but still realistic for the lighting I used.

Cool, another thread about the gold buffalo.

Well the title did say "a rather pretty piece of gold bullion".

No, it kindo looks like Modern Crap but it is all beat up compared to the real stuff.
