(The portrait posted by Amida17 is actually an artists rendering based on the coin not an actual person.) Report this Post to the Staff

She was quite attractive: Very nice! A worthwhile bump for the topic.

The only one I know for sure was for the eagle on the Gobrecht dollar and later the Flying Eagle cent , that was Peter, a bald eagle that believe it or not made his home in the Philadelphia Mint. Made the mistake one day of trying to perch on a moving flywheel. Report this Post to the Staff
