Unfortunately it was polished somewhere along the way, but historically its still a pretty neat piece, whatever the backstory may be.
I bought a very very large collection of world coins and this piece was in there. It's pretty darn cool but I'm having a difficult time...
@lordmarcovan So glad to see you back!!
There's a robust following and collecting base of native American artifacts and relics. I've personally witnessed it and seen artifacts sell for...
It's very attractive in person, the slab is bloated like NGC slabs can get, so I may crack it out yet. The original lustrous surfaces are pretty...
I should have been more clear in my initial post, I've seen this type labeled as Darius I- Artaxerxes II but didn't attribute it yet so I was...
I picked this Daric up and finally got it in the mail today. Its difficult to find these with most of the detail on the flan, well struck and that...
Wonderful acquisition Joe! As always, top notch. I'm glad you were able to acquire a coin you've been wanting for such a long time and for far...

Very cool! I was planning on staying up for the whole thing, but it was SO long I put in proxy bids and went to bed. I would have liked to watch...

Nice pickups! I like the Duro the best. You got that for a pretty good price!
I completely agree. I also believe they are an underappreciated type. I'm typically a type guy and only buy 1 of a type, but I could see adding...
Thats a good observation. On some of the type they often look "off" because of proportion and things like that. I guess I never put terms to it,...
Thats a nice example too. The nose and lips are well defined. One of my criteria was one without a really smashed nose, which is really common on...
You picked up a nice piece. I actually underbid that coin, so I was pleasantly surprised when this one showed up in CNG which I thought was...
I did, got this lovely lady: [ATTACH]
After being skunked at every other auction and underbidder on SO many lots I bid on this year, I finally had a win today at CNG. [ATTACH]...
I would say the vast majority of people buying Owls are buying for type and aren't much concerned about imitation vs original issue as long as the...
