<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 680209, member: 19855&quot;]US coins have featured the beloved national symbol on many coins. So, which one is the best? Worst? I personally (preparing for a flogging) enjoy the eagle on the Native American Dollar (sorry, can&#039;t spell sacagewea with confidence). It&#039;s just not often that you see an eagle span like that one and the way it embraces the edging is such a great design in my oppinion. I also like the eagle on the Peace Dollar. Again, it&#039;s unique. One typically doesn&#039;t see an eagle in simple perch on a coin. Not only that, but the detail given to the plumage and the beak would make any ornithologist proud. In my opinion, which probably doesn&#039;t matter too much, I just get so tired of seeing the symbolic eagle spread. You know, the ones with the eagle being veiwed ventrally with the arrows, olive branch, or any other various items in the talons...Washington quarter (pre 1999), Morgan Dollar, selected Barbers, Kennedy Half....they are so boring in that they show the similar designs with little variance with respect to the eagle. I understand they all have significance historically, but still boring and overdone. However, the worse eagle design goes to the Ben Franklin Half...pathetic is the only just description. As always, opinions welcomed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
