I really DO like the designs for the 1/4 and 1/2 Eagle, by Bela Lyon Pratt.
They are well balanced and innovative, but you do need these coins to be problem free to really appreciate them, and they ARE sensitive to acquiring problems.
Pity the U.S. Mint never produced this design for the $10 Eagle, they would have looked even more handsome in the larger size and weight.
I prefer this design in the Half Eagle to the St. Gaudens $10 Eagle, where the Indian head dress design is a little too off centre to the left.
