[QUOTE="Topcat7, post: 2424760, member: 73372"]Hi, TT, and welcome. Until someone more knowledgable than me (which is pretty much everyone) comes along, let me have a go. I don't have a copy of Milne, and I cannot see the coins that you refer to, but from my experience there is ALWAYS a difference in twenty coins in your hand or on a page. It may be as simple as the mintmark, or the fact that the eagle on one has a wreath in its mouth whereas on another it has a twig (branch) in its mouth. It may be the letter in the right field or the absence of it. It may be the legend ending in AVGG rather than AVG. The differences will be there. Having said that, I do have two coins in my collection that have identical 'mates' but that happens so infrequently as to be 'discounted'. Good Luck.[/QUOTE]
