Collect one heraldic-eagle Type 1 and one landing-eagle Type 2. A pair of Type 1 coins does not complete the pair. Keep proof and burnished versions separate if you later decide to collect those finishes. The two product listings are sold individually, so review each listing and add the pieces you still need.
