<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2568305, member: 19165&quot;]What do y&#039;all look for in an Athenian owl? Do you look for a &quot;full crest&quot;? (I&#039;ve heard that term thrown about, but not entirely sure what qualifies? Does it mean that some crest is visible, all the way around? Or something else?) Do you look for &quot;full nose&quot;? (I&#039;ve heard a couple of guys mention that)</p><p><br /></p><p>This seems to focus a lot on the obverse... but the reverse seems just as important to me. What are you looking for on the owl side? </p><p><br /></p><p>Do test cuts bother you? I see several with them, but a few without them. Personally, a test cut or punch mark (bankers mark) would be an instant no-go for me, but it doesn&#039;t seem to bother many of you. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I guess, in summary, what are your criteria for a &quot;superb&quot; owl?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
