<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael Scarn, post: 3201482, member: 94715&quot;]I know there&#039;s already a 2017 uncirculated version earlier in the thread, but I think the palladium eagle reverse design looks great in proof also.&nbsp; The detail really stands out with the high relief design, almost too much (kind of makes it look like a reptile&#039;s scales or like it&#039;s wearing some kind of armor rather than feathers, to me at least).&nbsp; After much thought I&#039;m still not certain if I like this or the eagle on the Walker reverse with its softer detail (among other differences) better.&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]828669[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I am also partial to the Ike eagle reverse, especially the brown box versions with the funky yellow/gold toning, as I loved space stuff as a kid (posted previously to the Ike thread).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]828670[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, speaking of high relief designs, I also like the reverse eagle on the 2009 UHR rendition of the St. Gaudens Double Eagle (I know that as bullion this version is less impressive as a coin than the one that Mainebill posted but I like the eagle better due to the amount of curvature in the wings owing to the high relief - I tried to capture this effect with the lighting in the photo below).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]828671[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
