<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3270848, member: 19463&quot;]We all have to face questions as to when a difference is enough to make a difference to us.&nbsp; I have posted a coin rather like these two in the recent past.&nbsp; First was when I bought it at a coin show and second was when it made my &#039;By price&#039; favorites of the year.&nbsp; It was my representative for $21 to $30.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]862640[/ATTACH]</p><p>Do we consider my coin the same as the ones posted by Plumbata or PeteB?&nbsp; Their coins had different magistrates written vertically at reverse left while mine shows ΔIO written horizontally.&nbsp; Because of the horizontal magistrate, the striking crew centered the reverse to the right on my coin which also allowed the long city name to be on flan at top and bottom but make Nike seem oddly distant to the right. The obverse letters are also different.&nbsp; I imagine someone at the mint telling the engraver to cut the next die with Nike&#039;s arm poking through the city name and to rotate the magistrate name so the things could be &#039;normally&#039; centered.&nbsp;&nbsp; Certainly the coins are different to a specialist in coins of this city but they are the same to many of us. Plumbata recognized PeteB&#039;s coin as the same as his but did not see the match with mine.&nbsp; We will all have opinions on what is the same and what is different on our coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Stop cleaning now![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
