# 343 - Bald Eagle
Continuing the Modern Commemoratives Dollar series, we will present you today the 2008 "Bald Eagle" graded by PCGS PR70 DCAM.
All coins of this series weight 26.73g with 90% silver purity. They were issued in Proof and Brilliant Uncirculated finish.
They will be presented in the order they were minted.
This coin was issued to mark the recovery of the species and the 35th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act.
The obverse of the coin features an image of a mature Bald Eagle in flight. This was designed by Joel Iskowitz and sculpted by Don Everhart.
The reverse of the coin features the Great Seal of the United States in use from 1782 to 1841, as sculpted by Jim Licaretz.
A total of 294,601 coins were minted in Philadelphia. The issue price was U$43.95. The actual price is around U$175.00 in this grade.
This series will continue very soon.
I hope you have enjoyed this article.

I like it, but not this Great Seal. Too many things inside.
