Description
The bald eagle is a symbol of freedom. In 1782 it was chosen as the American National Bird. Also in 1782 the eagle became the central figure in the official national seal. The designer originally drew in the golden eagle, but since the golden eagle lives in both Europe and America the American bald eagle was used instead. The Great Seal shows a wide-spread eagle, faced front, having on his breast a shield with thirteen perpendicular red and white stripes, surmounted by a blue field with the same number of stars.
The bald eagle is the emblem of twelve states and is the symbol of many companies and organizations across the country. On the backs of american gold coins, the silver dollar, the half dollar and the quarter, we see an eagle with it's wings spread out.

Beautiful clear photograph. Have learnt a little bit of history today too :o) Thank you for sharing this with us.
There are two Kennedy Silver Dollars. One shows the eagle on the moon looking at earth. The other shows the eagle on earth looking at the moon. I once sent these two in a makeshift horn of plenty sealed with a glued in tennis ball to Reuben H. Donnelly Publishing for an Offical Airline Guide in 1976. Sovereignity means different things to natives. guide they offered me for two dollars.
