[QUOTE="JayAg47, post: 7694797, member: 112342"]I haven't bought coins for nearly two months as I'm saving up, but I got really bad itch in the meantime so I splurged a whopping sum of 23 dollars on this teeny tiny Attica Owl from the German seller Andre Chicos! Seller's image (I for my life couldn't get a focus on the coin for a photo). [ATTACH=full]1320918[/ATTACH] Weighing at 0.22g my guess would be it is a hemiobol, although it should weigh around 0.3g I'm sure the test cut even on this tiny coin (could be a jewelry hole o_O) along with the wear took a significant bite out of the silver weight. I'm always happy to add the first owl to my collection, also a type that would've been actually used in daily transactions in the local Athenian markets! And this thing is tiny!
