Well, it seems that part of his hair is highly detailed compared to the rest, but I'm probably wrong.
you might be right, i was looking at the back part of his hair, were hair stops it looks kinda angular
It impossible for me to be sure and I would've missed that aspect of the coin unless it was brought to my attention as you just did. But, I think Bing may be right too.
I knew I would be up against you bidding on this coin, but to your benefit I missed the entire auction!!! I lost out on one coin which sold for 750, I was prepared to bid 3,000. Ah well. I need to set alarms!
