A nice little owl, very decent for the type, that just made his nest in my collection Attica, Athens AR Triobol (454-404 BC) Obv.: Helmeted head of Athena. Rev.: Owl standing facing between olive sprays. SNG Copenhagen 44.
Great coin, that is pretty nice. The ones I have seen are beat, bad. I know what you mean when you say nice for the type. I think it is excellent. Kudos. You should see what I got in the mail today....oh wait...that's right...
Your triobol is much nicer than my junker but look at my 3/4 obol. The owl flew off! I have obols and hemiobols but would really like a 1/4 and 1/8!
Yummy, yummy ... wow, I love it when you actually go balz-to-the-wall and post a coin of your own! (well played) => awesome owl (ummm, yah I've already seen it, but I'm pretending that it is a first showning ... eh-heh-heh) => dawg, that coin owns the coins that think that the other coins are in charge!! .. umm, get it? (quoi?)
It's about 12 mm / 2.1 g. I've managed to clean off most of the deposits (toothpick + water). Gives it a little more relief imo
It's a great coin, dawg ... congrats!! SIDE-NOTE => it must be odd/difficult being a "dealer" and a collector ... curious, once you decide a coin is in your collection, does it stay there, or is there always some sort of rotation where they end-up on seller's row?
