[QUOTE="Orange Julius, post: 3559058, member: 77226"]It's interesting that your fallen horseman is wearing a Phrygian helmet, Doug's has two braids, while mine is bare-headed with a forked beard... all while being from the same mint and issue. I've always wondered how die engravers were given instruction, how much latitude was allowed for little variations and how many of these details were "approved" and intentional versions. ...were they working from drawings or example coins?[/QUOTE]
