<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 1777732, member: 56859&quot;]So I was studying Athena&#039;s little outfit on these coins and noticed something interesting. I think the engraver kinda goofed on mine and several others I looked at (vcoins and wildwinds).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Look at the throwing arm. With which arm is she throwing the thunderbolt? In Steve&#039;s coin, it&#039;s clearly her right arm. Her top garment is a shawl-y cape-y thing and should be draped in the back. Yet on mine, it looks like she&#039;s throwing with her left arm and the front of the &#039;cape&#039; covers her chest. The throwing position is wrong on my coin for a lefty throw-- wrong foot forward, unless she&#039;s just throwing like a girl <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I squinted and turned my head and with some imagination can see mine with her holding the thunderbolt in her right hand, but I think the engravers messed up on some of the portraits. In a completely nonscientific sampling of 33 coins on wildwinds and vcoins, in 28 she&#039;s clearly holding the thunderbolt with her right hand and in 5, the left hand or ambiguous.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also noted, in some she&#039;s holding the shield horizontal to the ground. Gurrrrl, that&#039;s not going to protect you!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Steve&#039;s on the left, mine on the right:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]283951[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
