    I have an elephant shortage so I will use a coin that I probably used more than once before in this thread. It's a favorite of mine.

    And for a change of theme let's go back to one used quite a few times before... Birds

    Athena Owl Tetradrachm (454-404 BC). I thought this one was stolen in transit. It took over two months to get from Boston to New York. The seller and I gave it up for lost but it strangely got scanned back into the postal system with an "acceptance" after not moving for weeks.
