<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 8223948, member: 97383&quot;]L.M., You scored a very attractive Eagle at a very fair price <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Saint-Gaudens was a great admirer of classical Greek art &amp; coinage, &amp; many of his coins &amp; medals show that influence. No doubt the eagle design on the reverse of your coin was inspired by the eagles seen on the Greek coins of Egypt <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. For comparison see the Greek tetradrachm I sold long ago at a Heritage auction.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1444890[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1444891[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1444892[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
