Not all Eagles are created equal

Interesting thread. I have been told that the dies made for the AE did go through subtle transitions over the years. In general, the earlier eagles had the tail feathers ending in a "V" and the later ones, the tail feathers ended in a "U". I'm sure other variations could be found also. They had in those days inferior tools to copy things, often just using the eye and hand.
