What does the edge look like? Is there a casting seam?
@robinjojo That stater looks to be in mint-state! Superb! Bull: [ATTACH] Next: Coin you've come to appreciate more over time.
I like it. I'm partial to nice toning, and on an Owl that's rare. Yours is very nice, with some honest wear. Price paid seems pretty much in line...
I tend to buy more world coins from them than ancients. Here is one I recently purchased. It has been polished, but I've been wanting one of these...
