  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):

  I like the very first eagles... they were so simple, yet at that time, they represented so much.

  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.
