[QUOTE="Jacob Winther, post: 6625348, member: 102773"]Dear Scholars I recently took a chance on a very cheep Owl from an estate sale (50$). After looking extensively on the net, I'm still not entirely sure if it's good or bad. The coin is 16-17 gr., 24-26 mm. diameter. There are no casting lines or filemarks on the edge, the details are quite good and the overall feel of the coin seems OK. My major issues with the coin are a few small blisters, possibly castbobbles. One above the eye, and one in front of the forehead. Also there seems to be a small cut from the lower right part of the neck towards the edge. Lastly, I havn't seen that many owls with their tails pointing almost straight down. I'm 85 % sure it's a fake, but I would very much appreciate your input. Yours Jacob / Copenhagen[/QUOTE]
