The classic eagle of Early American coinage will remain.The Canadians aren’t in contention.Art is an extension an expression a means of communicating.I purchased this Canadian set and treasure the ASE’s from the beginning (1986).Collect to enjoy.

I understand that these countrys like to show thair aligns to the queen; afterall, I do have some Canadian and Newziland/Australian coins that I like very much, but if this eagle is going to be considered a rival to US double eagle and a new bench mark, it was not designed as such. I kind like old era when it comes to US double eagle design, and the dawn of a new era should be greeted with “In GOD We Trusts” and “E Pluribus Unum” and not just the image of a beautiful bird. All I’m saying is that this new Canadian coin can’t be considered a replacement to US eagle. I do agree that it’s overdue on the fractions ASE set. Maybe just in time for 30th anniversary issue?

Elizabeth 11 is Queen of 16 independent countries,repetive,boring maybe but it is what it is.She represents these countries and her image on their coinage is a show of respect.If you look at the modern coinage of these 16 there focus is primarily on wildlife and what is more relevant.This eagle was not meant to ape the classic American Eagle this eagle is of a new era.Plus this fractional set possibly should have been a USA first.I wonder if the USA mint will follow with a fractional ASE set..Possibly we should have been first.What do you think?

It’s a nice eagle, but I think the coin is to simplistic and short of a few elements. They should’ve went with something other then overused image of a queen for a change. The classic US double eagle is a perfect coin with lots of details in my opinion. On the obverse it has lady liberty on the reverse it has graceful eagle and both sides have beautiful inscriptions with meaning.

When I relate the eagle to coinage my thoughts are attached to the classic US double eagle, this is of the past.This modern Canadian work sets the standard.This wise eagle I believe can see over the horizon into the future.This set is a must for modern collectors.Thank you Canada.Mr editor please follow this release.Thank You.
