<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4492996, member: 19463&quot;]I most sincerely believe that too many people assume that just because a business is huge and employs a lot of &#039;experts&#039; that anyone involved knows or cares about things like this.&nbsp; There is also the matter that the mint did not blow a whistle one day and declare that they were finished with one type and moving on the the next.&nbsp; Starr groups are digital; coins are analog. I believe in the three tail feathers as the deal breaker in this case so would not want any of the three coins were I wanting a V.&nbsp; I can see how others would accept the last two but not the first.&nbsp; Still, I agree with pprp:</p><p><br /></p><p>If someone bids on the coin that is clearly described in error, the fault is also on them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll never have a Group V tet but I am happy to have my obol with feathers as best as could be expected on a beat up coin that size.&nbsp; I have never seen a mint state one but, if one exists, it should sell for more than the common large coin so I&#039;ll not have it either. Mine was from NFA in 1990 where it was described as ex Tucker coll. but no mention made of the style which I thought obvious from the head tilt.&nbsp; With today&#039;s better photos, we should get fewer surprises based on sellers not knowing or not caring.&nbsp; I would like to know if &#039;Tucker&#039; cared.&nbsp; I will point out that CNG has sold early obols identified to Group. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1114728[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
