<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1939180, member: 19463&quot;]I bought Starr years ago but was very disappointed that it only covered coins I could not afford and stopped before the popular Classical owls.&nbsp; Now that the coins it covers start at over $5000, I&#039;m not sure it is worth having for most of us.&nbsp; I have not seen the book for years (in an attic box, I assume).&nbsp; I have enjoyed Svoronos greatly over the years but I don&#039;t ever see it offered.&nbsp; Perhaps I should trade it for a coin that is in Starr?&nbsp; I would think that there might be a market for a beginner level book on owls.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It could be worse.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]335909[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>or even worse yet, they might have found what they were looking for.&nbsp; This fourree shows why the cuts were deep. The smaller cut behind the owl barely broke through the silver plating requiring the crossbody cut to be certain that the coin was bad. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]335908[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Some fake owls were made with test cuts under the plating probably on the theory that people would accept that cut as evidence that the coin was good when in fact both the coin and the test were equally bogus.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]335910[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
