<p>[QUOTE="philologus_1, post: 24763081, member: 92212"]Greetings [USER=128358]@Robichari[/USER] The #23 coin and the #24 coin from the plate you included are simply 2 different examples of the same coin type. They were struck from different dies, but are the same type. Each different die has a variety of differences (some very slight; some not so slight). MacDonald was not indicating they were different types. </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW: The MacDonald Volume III contains scholarship that is about 120 years old. The "SC" reference is top-notch current scholarship. The variance you are noting (orange) in the tail end of the cornucopia is not consequential to the determination of the type. Your coin is indeed the type which is now most commonly referred to as "SC 2312". </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps to clarify! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
