I like the the eagle & flag design. Not too crazy about the chicks and think this could have been pulled off a little better. Unfortunately, none of these halves are in silver so not worth saving.
Ratings:Now this obverse design is different, and I actually like the “chicks” design. However, the reverse Eagle is just not right, could it be that this specimen is still suffering from DDT poisoning? Sadly the pairing of these two dies ruins the obverse effect.
