[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2553664, member: 56859"]Oh well, I gave it my best shot from a "what do I know about Doug" standpoint since I only know the basics of Imperial coins. Do you mean that the portion of the portrait, as shown, is in some way substantially different from the rest? I'm not seeing any differences which appear significant, only the minor artistic variations which come from different engravers. In the odd man out portrait he appears to be gazing slightly downward and the others have his pupils pointed straight ahead, but I doubt that has any meaning. If the reason third coin is the odd man out has something to do with what isn't shown in these pictures, the odds of my ever finding the answer approach zero :(. The third coin has a fantastic portrait though. [I]Great[/I] hair :D[/QUOTE]
