<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GSDykes, post: 2234694, member: 73321&quot;]The reverse of the Bald Eagle is great, but the obverse is terrible as far as the realism of the feathers! It is hard to convey feathers in sculpture, and this coin was designed by Joel Iskowitz and engraved by Don Everhart. I suppose it was the sculpturer who is to blame! Everhart also destroyed Gilroy Robert&#039;s JFK bust, as seen on the new medal. He had no authority to change Kennedy&#039;s hair part. The original part, (tousled) was authorized by Jackie [i.e. it was also changed on the 1980s half dollar].&nbsp; And another gripe, the eagle&#039;s head and body shape overall are out of wack, looks like a fish with a beak. (A trout, with wings). The 1994 POW silver commemorative has a much better eagle (IMHO), for comparison. Notice how softer the feathers appear, and the hefty thighs!! This too is a proof. OOOPs, sorry the comparison is an UNcirculated coin, I do not have a proof POW coin, but the feather detail is the&nbsp; same. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]439834[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
