<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Snible, post: 2605143, member: 82322&quot;]It might really be the third eye!&nbsp; It is common on Athenian owls.&nbsp; For example <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owl_of_Athena#/media/File:Tetradrachm_Athens_480-420BC_MBA_Lyon.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owl_of_Athena#/media/File:Tetradrachm_Athens_480-420BC_MBA_Lyon.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owl_of_Athena#/media/File:Tetradrachm_Athens_480-420BC_MBA_Lyon.jpg</a> .I don&#039;t know why the dot appears on some but not all owl tetradrachms.</p><p><br /></p><p>A similar dot is sometimes seen on gorgoneions.&nbsp; It is difficult to research this issue online due to the large number of new-age websites wishing to discuss dots, third eyes, and mythology.</p><p><br /></p><p>For anyone who hasn&#039;t noticed dots on owl foreheads before, who knows what else you are missing?&nbsp; I have found it valuable to write a description of my coins myself.&nbsp; When I cut-and-paste from the seller&#039;s description it is easy to overlook features not in the seller&#039;s description.&nbsp; Try to write a paragraph for each new acquisition, similar to what a cataloger would write, and your coins may surprise you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
