<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2510741, member: 56859&quot;]Charles, this and your other recent owl tet post have caused me to do more reading about them, so thanks <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://athenianowlcoins.reidgold.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://athenianowlcoins.reidgold.com/" rel="nofollow">Reid Goldsborough&#039;s article</a> covers a lot of ground and is very interesting.&nbsp; Although it&#039;s hard to say with certainty, I think your new coin is a Classical Owl Type C (c. 431-393 BCE)-- a late &quot;mass emission&quot; tetradrachm.&nbsp; As you can see from his article, there are many unknowns about these owl tets.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of these days I should look for one for my collection.&nbsp; I keep putting it off because they are so abundant (I&#039;ll be able to buy one tomorrow/next month/next year) and because they are priced higher than I want relative to my level of interest.&nbsp; It&#039;s certainly a type that should be represented by anyone who collects ancient Greek coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
