I like the angry eagle from the ?lincoln/illinois? commem, also showed up on a few patterns in the late 1800's.

There are some very cool eagles on some of the modern commemorative $5 gold coins, but I'd have get those out to photo them.

Mainly because I can only dream of ever owning this eagle:

Anyone got a reverse image of the Connecticut Commemorative? That's one bad-ass Eagle look'n to tear something or someone apart.

Is that where the eagle looks like Orca?

What? Nobody has put up Ben Franklin's little pet.

The Flying Eagle Longacre's rendition of Gobrecht's design is my second favorite.

But by far the coolest Eagle design in US history is on the Schoolgirl pattern, captured here from the Bass coin.

Defiant Eagle, by George T. Morgan.

That would be a pigeon (or a turkey). The request was for an eagle.

I've always had a 'thing' for the Lincoln commem.

I like that one.

And I LOVE this design. That's an awful photo, though. My only gold coin.

But I love them all!
