<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 1676968, member: 42034&quot;]Hi Eng &amp; Thanks for your comments.</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually that owl came from Stack&#039;s NYICS auction in Jan, 2012&nbsp; (lot#213).&nbsp; That collection had some major rarities in the Greek series&nbsp; and I think that&#039;s what everyone was looking at.&nbsp; Thus this owl and a&nbsp; very early electrum gold stater <a href="http://www.coinsandhistory.com/countries/Greek_coins.html#Electrum%20Stater" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinsandhistory.com/countries/Greek_coins.html#Electrum%20Stater" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinsandhistory.com/countries/Greek_coins.html#Electrum Stater</a> slipped thru the cracks and I got &#039;em&nbsp; for a decent price.&nbsp; I was really excited about the full electrum stater which was quite rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually&nbsp; I bought the Owl because Athens is of such paramount historical&nbsp; importance to the world&#039;s early history as well as being an early&nbsp; democracy.&nbsp; I do talks at schools about old coins and an Athenian tet is necessary to show off Athens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
