dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 01/13/2012 10:12 pm That is the shortest horse I have ever seen. It is FH3 because of the reaching hand but I admit that the horse head could be more tucked. My only Nicomedia horseman is much later and conforms better to the head position but still has a short horse. Every mint style was different. Report this Post to the Staff
Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 01/14/2012 7:50 pm Thank you Doug for taking the time to post and explain these four types. I had the "reaching" verses "clutching" question on another forum and this clears it up for me 100%(something tells me you may have read that thread) Definitely a difficult and vast area of study considering the number of possible variations, coupled with the fact that having access to coins in excellent condition may be somewhat limited for most.

Dane does not have the best condition coins in every case but she has a lot of them that will teach you what to look for. http://www.catbikes.ch/helvetica/feltemps.htm I would have preferred she use the FH numbers but she chose just to say kneeling, sitting, reaching and clutching.
