[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 2497751, member: 10613"]But how are you going to find this 167? Rely on someone's description from the internet? The only example that you could see that really matters is the examples seen by Webb, and without being able to identify those, it seems like we can't be certain...or we can read the descriptions-- the two main points are 167 is walking with eagle at foot and 168 is standing right with no eagle. The eagle bit is easy, is it there or not. There is also a big difference between walking left and standing right. The CNG coin is walking left, so must be RIC 167. You can tell a coin is walking/advancing by the angle of the leg. For 168, the description is standing right, which means that as you look at the coin, the leg on your right should be straight, with the left slightly bent. which the CNG coin is not. Wildwinds also has three misattributed 167's. Below is a picture I made to demonstrate standing right/ left and advancing. These descriptions might vary a bit, sometimes you will also see head turned right/left or facing. So what we might need to see is a few 168's, since there seem to be a lot of 167's around.[/QUOTE]
