I haven't seen many posts on this, but a few weeks ago I got my Bald Eagle Commemoratives, both the Silver Dollars and the Halves. Here is the images of my halfs Enjoy http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/comemeagles2008/ameaglecomem_clad_obverse_01.jpg http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/comemeagles2008/ameaglecomem_clad_obverse_02.jpg http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/comemeagles2008/ameaglecomem_clad_obverse_03.png http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/comemeagles2008/ameaglecomem_clad_obverse_CLEAR_01.jpg http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/comemeagles2008/ameaglecomem_clad_reverse_01.jpg http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/comemeagles2008/ameaglecomem_clad_reverse_02.jpg http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/comemeagles2008/ameaglecomem_clad_reverse_03.jpg http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/comemeagles2008/ameaglecomem_clad_reverse_04.jpg http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/comemeagles2008/ameaglecomem_clad_reverse_05.png http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/comemeagles2008/ameaglecomem_reverse_01.jpg http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/comemeagles2008/ameaglecomem_reverse_01.png
I went ahead and bought a half from the mint (in person at a coinshow out reach). I bought it because it is a darn good looking coin (though it will never be worth much).
I'm actually very impressed with this coin. I wish the other new designs were half as good as this. The details are 21st century. Ruben
Here is the link to the Baldy I got for someone. John http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=34943 You got a nice though
I'm sorry yours was problamatic. I was half expecting a cheap coin because the design was so difficult, but I'm excited by the quality I got and the great workmanship. Ruben
i was planning to buy uncircs but even after many months the min has failed to deliver acceptable proofs.
Your the second person to say that. I must always be lucky with the Mint because I never have trouble with them Ruben
Actually, they look a lot like Jefferson on the current nickel. Seriously, I'm really amazed at the level of detail in the chicks. This coin could not have been executed when the Morgan dollar was struck. Ruben
Ruben - I will try later. Personally, I don't really see any difference, but I am partial to the UNC anyway.
