Love those owls!

Not the best one out there.. but at a little over $300 I feel the price was right!

Very nice indeed, especially for the price!

 

Very Nice!!

They are hard to resist!!! Congrats!!

My version:

 

My only complaint is they did not use a prong holder... I want to see how fat this coin is! And no, I will not be busting it out to see

 

Nice. Why does it say graffiti on the label?

 

Hard to tell from the pictures, but maybe the scratch on the cheek/jaw that runs vertical?
My favorite of the few in my collection:


@jwitten 's coin is an intermediate.
@Mikey Zee 's is a new style,
and my own is a classical.
Anyone have an archaic and transitional type to add to the lineup?

 

Dang...another type I want

 

There are scratches on both sides but the X in the reverse field could be intentional. An advantage of a slab is you can not see the coin all that well so you could miss these scratches. Certainly do not break it out. It would not sell well as a RAW.

 

Yes, there is an X on the reverse. The lighting in that picture did not show it very well. It is pretty light.

 

WOW! No Guts, No GLORY!


It was a brutal battle...but, then there was FREEDOM!!!

 

I have I think 3 owls right now, but my other 2 are the new style. I had a few olders but sold them already.

 

Nice rescue effort, Alegandalf => sweet sledge and anvil (yup, that's quite the cool coin set-up you've got there!!)

 

Owls well that ends well!

 

Man, that's a hoot!!

 

Yes but it shows very well in the other one in your eBay listing. It is amazing how small changes in the lighting can make a scratch look raised in one photo and recessed in the other. These coins are very good silver and scratch easily. I credit NCG mentioning it when they slabbed it.

 

Here are a couple of my owls:

 

Just sold it (still in slab, to another ancient dealer) for a nice $200 profit. These owls have been easy sales!
