    There are a lot of American coins with various eagle designs on the reverse. Some are designed better than others. My top 3 are the St. Gaudens double eagle, the standing liberty quarter, and the American gold eagle. I'm a big fan of the "action shots" of the eagle in flight, not so much the standing eagle like on the walking liberty halves or Washington quarters. What's your favorite eagle design?

    My favorite is the St. Gaudens Double Eagle. It's the most beautiful coin ever minted in my opinion.

    The Walking Liberty eagle gets my vote; I love its stance on the reverse, with its wings open.

    I'm going to say it's a tie between the standing liberty quarter and the peace dollar.

    I like the Morgan eagle. It looks ****ed off saying "Don't F with us". I also like the eagle on the walkers.

    The Feuchtwanger cent is probably my favorite eagle design.
