[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 1964163, member: 31620"]Steve, I have a Milne 4632 too. The portraits styles are quite different. Mine looks as though the emperor has as much of a beak as the eagle does. [IMG]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/normal_GI_132r_img.jpg[/IMG] These eagle types are certainly the most common type for this period and put some people off them. Some of them have a certain charm but you do have to be a little bit obsessive to want to chase down a full set of eagle left, eagle right, eagle spread wings for all the different years. We all have our own collecting / hoarding style. Milne would differentiate between out coins based upon where the laurel wreath breaks the obverse legend. I am not sure I am quite that far gone....yet. My example of Bing's eagle spread type is also shown below for comparison.
