<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4553597, member: 19463&quot;]I am NOT saying there were no tigers but the first one I saw struck me as a skinny panther with ribs showing.&nbsp; Those with well struck mint state coins see things differently than the rest of us.&nbsp; Were those lines intended to the stripes or just a convention to show a big cat?&nbsp; Opinions on where one animal starts and another ends in cats and hooved stock will vary and some dies suggest the cutter may not have been fully skilled in the ID of the animals.&nbsp; Panther is the obvious answer because of the legend linking Dionysos to his companion animal.&nbsp; Did Dionysos have a tiger, too.&nbsp; Ask him if you see him late some night. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
