For me, I've always felt it was the high-relief Saint-Gaudens double eagle. If you count commemoratives, then the round Pan-Pac $50 is right behind it, in my mind...  |

I agree with hokiefan_82 and here is my example.   IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

When the images don't show on the thread it always works for me to "left click" I'm on a phone so no clicking lol, then open in new page. Images always show up for me like that.

These new coin finish techniques are phenomenal. Stunning contrasting surfaces!

Since this topic is in the Colonial and Classic section, I agree 100% with T-Bop on the Walker. Hands down my favorite and the coin that started me down the rabbit hole. Also think the reverse is the best rendition of an eagle on the classics.
