1795 Dollar

I don't know the sellers of this neat 1795 FLOWING HAIR DOLLARS 2 LEAVES NGC XF40 so I can't vouch for them. I do like the coin, one of America's very first dollars. I find the eagle on the reverse so much more natural than the stylized eagles used more recently.

Love that coin.

I find that eagle to be quite stylized as well Carl, but that's JMO.
While the Peace Dollar eagle is far from accurate I think its stance and proportion are fairly true to life.

 A realistic Eagle on an American coin is something to look forward to.

Well, yeah, the eagle on the peace dollar is a common bald eagle and he's just perched there resting. That Peace $ eagle is about as natural as it gets for coinage. Still I like the early eagle - nice action shot as he spreads his wings. Does anybody know what type of eagle the early bird is?
