    I agree that they may not be 'traditional' portraits of eagles (especially the Bridgeport), but they each give a unique and new take on the eagle. I could imagine being one of the artists thinking "How can I get my eagle to stand out from all the others", and I appreciate each one of those artists representations.

    And you have to admit the eagle on the Arkansas series is pretty cool looking.

    Wimpiest, most disappointing eagle on a U.S. coin:

    It was a total afterthought. Placed there as a way to satify the law.

    This design should have been kept on the seated dollar and $10 eagle.
