Kevin Lipton's 1792 Eagle on Globe Quarter Copper Pattern

I was watching this video interview at CoinWorld of Kevin Lipton:

https://coinworld.com/news/us-coins/2019/02/cwtls-kevin-lipton.html

where he talked about his love for his acquired 1792 quarter copper pattern (the better of 2 made):

As he stated in his interview, this design was in such conflict with the "witch" like design of Liberty for our early copper coinage. I agree with him that the pattern's depiction is beautiful on both sides, but reflected on how Liberty's neck is so different on the pattern compared to the later massive neck of the Matron Head coins of 24 years later :D

Any other thoughts you'd share on Lipton's pattern and its design? Too bad it wasn't used!
