[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 3245966, member: 51347"]Have you gotten that Owl yet? I gave you some suggestions for NON-Tets :) How about some more Owls from the Borg??? At least I KNOW these are not "fakes", as they were tested around the time of issue. [[B]BTW, I would NEVER recommend a "test cut" on ANY of my Ancients[/B]... Rather, I go perform RESEARCH to compare and learn... I am concerned about all the non-experts spouting off about "fakes" when people post their coins. I refuse to do this, as I never purport to be an expert. Rather, I focus on researching my coins. I definitely want to KNOW, but I really do not like an "opinion" session, voting whether a coin is fake or not. My druthers would be an expert opinion backed up with facts. Now, back to the story...] These are Tets, tested and true during their circulation: [ATTACH=full]850793[/ATTACH] Athens Owl 16.8g 22x6-5mm Late Classical 393-300 BC, Sear 2537, SNG Cop. 63 [ATTACH=full]850794[/ATTACH] Athens Owl AR Tet 17.4g 20.4mm x 7.5mm Late Classical 393-300 BC, Sear 2537, SNG Cop. 63 edge-crud (LOL, not tested, just a lot of crud) [ATTACH=full]850795[/ATTACH] Athens Owl AR Tet 17.3g 22.9mm x 6.8mm thick Late Classical 393-300 BC, Sear 2537, SNG Cop. 63 crud (uh-oh...Owl lost his head...
