<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4506146, member: 110350&quot;]Many thanks.&nbsp; A long but interesting article with another classification system for Athens &quot;mass coinage&quot; Owls, by Reid Goldsborough, can be found at <a href="https://rg.ancients.info/owls/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://rg.ancients.info/owls/" rel="nofollow">https://rg.ancients.info/owls/</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Judging from the photos you posted above of the Flament types, my own Owl, while not in great condition -- I bought it from John Jencek at the 2007 NYINC for about $300 -- looks most like Flament Group III, although it resembles Group II in some ways as well. (The reverse is marred by a large test cut in the owl&#039;s head, plus a circular banker&#039;s mark in the owl&#039;s stomach.) I&#039;m sure that there are a great many variations within each of those groups.&nbsp; Goldsborough&#039;s article has some criticisms of Flament&#039;s classification system.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1117027[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1117028[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
