<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4179410, member: 110350"]I notice one major difference in the obverses between Bing's new coin and the one I posted, that I haven't seen addressed anywhere: in mine, there are two separate lengths of chain or other material extending downward to the necklace, both going directly down from the earring (the front length beaded and the back one plain). In Bing's, the beaded and plain lengths appear to be joined together, and both extend down from a spot behind the ear and earring, instead of directly from the earring itself. Is that difference of any significance in identifying the coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, in mine, the eye is longer and more symmetrical, whereas the eye in Bing's is not symmetrical, and looks almost as if it's in a transitional stage towards a more naturalistic side view of an eye.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, I don't have access to the illustrations in Starr or Flament or Svoronos for identification purposes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
