[QUOTE="randygeki, post: 1679671, member: 13719"]Fallen does seem to be a more powerful word, especially for a battle scene. Fallen: people who died in war: those people killed in war or battle, especially while fighting overthrown, destroyed, or conquered: a fallen city. having dropped or come down from a higher place, from an upright position, or from a higher level, degree, amount, quality, value, number, etc. on the ground; prostrate; down flat: Maybe falling is just to modern for most ancient collectors :) Origin: before 900; Middle English fallen, Old English feallan; cognate with German fallen, Old Norse falla; But for me, it's muscle memory. As you said, a few dealers use falling; 4 coins came up while searching "falling" and almost 350 for "fallen," on vcoins.[/QUOTE]
