[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7764269, member: 115909"]Thanks :). According to the listing it was minted with high relief dies “especially on the reverse”. I think it’s interesting that the same person who made 2 different offers on my owl also made offers on at least 20 other different MS graded owls. You can see via Heritage Auctions the offers that have been made that day and all of a sudden there were 20+ owls that had offers made of at least 30% higher than the original buyer paid. Not just owls either! They also made offers on like 20 different Alexander the Great tetradrachms. I’m wondering if it was some really rich person trying to corner the market by buying up as many as possible and then slowly selling them over a long period of years to make a substantial profit. Afterall there are less than 3,000 MS graded owls so it would be pretty easy for someone who was rich to corner the market.[/QUOTE]
