<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2497985, member: 19463&quot;]We&#039;ll just have to agree to disagree on this one. Neither description fits the coin as I see it but I believe both describe the same coin as copied by Webb.&nbsp; Did he even look at a coin or just copy other lists?&nbsp; I do not see a walking figure but one standing with planted feet spread wide and twisting in the act of hurling the thunderbolt as described by the legend.&nbsp; The body points left but the head right so it would seem there could have been more detail in the description.&nbsp; The question to me is why Webb felt the need&nbsp; to add 168 at all.&nbsp; Did he believe there was a coin without eagle?&nbsp; He would then have listed it as &quot;same, without eagle&quot;.&nbsp; I know he was working fast with many more important coins to list but without seeing coins making it clear there was a need for two listings, I&#039;ll stick with it being an error copied from unknown source. </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, there is precedent for Jupiter appearing in this period with and without eagle so there certainly could have been a bird free die.&nbsp; Of course these (from different mints) are clearly standing and holding rather than hurling.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]529620[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529621[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
