This is why your my hero Bill *LOL*
I looked at the two "X"'s on the chest and thought they were bad. I had never seen this specific type of pattern. Normally the bullion I have seen has had smaller "X"'s with portions of the continuing pattern extending out to the sides of the eagles bodies. These just looked too well centered and large for my liking.
Although after pouring over some bullion pics I did find a shot of one with this "sagging diaper" effect.
