But each has its differences from the others. Part of what makes these coins so fun is trying to figure out what those differences signify. I know it is often referred to as &quot;fly specking&quot;, though, I don&#039;t know if that is the an accurate description when the tiny difference may signify the mint, changing of a ruler or WHO knows what!?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1136286[/ATTACH]</p><p><b><u>Antiochos I Soter </u></b></p><p>Shield with Anchor Æ20</p><p>6.09 grams 20mm</p><p>Obv.
