    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.

    Capped Bust dime eagles are a favorite...the Capped bust and Classic head to left half eagle eagles are another favorite...

    "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron."

    Dwight D. Eisenhower
    Speech in Washington, 16 Apr. 1953, in Public Papers of Presidents 1953 (1960) p. 182

    The revese of the Gobrecht dollar, which was the origin for the Flying Eagle cent and the inspiration for St. Gaudens flying egale. See the attached picture.

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