[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1167291, member: 15445"][b]I’ve really got two questions right now[/b] I’ve really got two questions right now. I’ve wanted one of these for a long time & have been sitting back waiting for one to be offered by someone trustworthy. I clicked on Daniel Sedwick’s recent auction & won this one. Considering a bazillion eyes (including Sedwick’s eyes) have viewed this coin I calculated that it would probably be safe to bid on it. I personally like the picture but I’ve never seen it in hand. I will probably receive it in about 10-days. Q1. From the photo, do you guys see anything to suggest that it is not real? I’ve been to Athens. I’ve heard some of the mythology about Athena & the owl. I guess I should get a book describing ancient coins now & really learn something. Q2. What one ancient coin reference book should I initially purchase? Please suggest a book that is really available for purchase someplace. Wish me luck. I may get bit by the ancient coin collecting bug.[/QUOTE]
