Great coins, Doug. Thanks for showing. I notice these coins are very expensive in excellent conditions. Maybe due to their early age? BTW, the...
Congrats on your 34k, @paddyman98 ! I wonder if these bowtie clips are really "mint errors". Are they are just the big metal sheet leftovers...
Thanks, @robinjojo. I do think that this example is dated before the Peloponnesian War. Likely in between Starr V and the Intermediate period....
I have a feeling that the color of the Indian cent is supposed to be darker. Metal composition?
I think the olive leaves design on Athena's helmet is also a major indicator of Group IV. The 3 olive leaves in Group V do not show their stems,...
Congrats on your 14,000 likes, @Collecting Nut. Nice missing clad Maryland. Here is an off-center piece to celebrate your milestone. :happy: [ATTACH]
I think the wide floral scroll (spiral palmette) on Athena's helmet indicates yours as a Mass Classical example. The floral on earlier examples is...

I think your criteria on Starr V is correct. A more-rounded earlier owl design, with 3 separate feathers defines a V from the intermediate Owls....
Interesting observation, @pprp. It surely looks like the cataloger just copy a template from another Starr V onto one that doesn't look like a...
I also think it is just a normal penny.
No win for Morris today also, unfortunately.
Nice owl addition, @rrdenarius. Great details with Ch AU. I bought one recently with the stimulus money. Going after the "full crest" designation...
Very interesting article. Thanks!
Nice brockage error
Interesting large punch/drill. I guess it serve the same purpose as test cutting.
That punch hole is surely huge. I have one with a punch hole already on the flan, but it's way smaller. [ATTACH]
The style looks like from Egypt or surrounding areas. BTW, is that a giant punch near the owl, which somehow doesn't cut through the whole coin?
I held on without any coin buying for over a month, but finally started bidding last week. Won 2 ancients. Now waiting for their arrivals. The...
