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.

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.

Regards,

-Kurt

If you want to learn about FH coins visit this page and all the ones that link to it. 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.

I would have preferred she use the FH numbers but she chose just to say kneeling, sitting, reaching and clutching.

I have two Fallen Horse coins and one is FH1 and a variation of the FH2 shown. If there are over 2000 FH variants, it sounds like each mint and artist had a fair amount of leeway for their creations.
