[QUOTE="JayAg47, post: 7911120, member: 112342"]Ticked an Attica owl tetradrachm from my wish list! This happens to be an intermediate owl with some horn silvering, and I got this from a seller who also runs a store on Vcoins- Ancient Artifacts & Treasures, so I'm not worried about the authenticity. [ATTACH=full]1365912[/ATTACH] 16.9g Circa 393-300 BC And here is an itsy bitsy owl hemiobol at just 0.22g! [ATTACH=full]1365915[/ATTACH] One used at the local markets to buy a loaf of bread or some wine, while the other probably traveled the lands and seas for trade and store of wealth. Although I didn't plan on buying an owl anytime soon, I just got the chance to buy this one for a really small fraction of what a typical owl tet usually cost, for instance if I were to buy an average owl being in Australia, due to the poor exchange rate, GST (taxes), and shipping, it would run me well over a 1000 bucks! and I am not prepared to spend that much of money on a common coin that i think is overpriced (even if I had enough funds). However a lack of owl tet made a big hole in my collection, and this coin happens to fill the space, and the scar over Athena's eye giving it some battle-hardened character. Post anything owl or any budget tets!![/QUOTE]
