<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1045626, member: 26302&quot;]I like eastern owls. The one caveat Doug I would make is that some of these eastern issues can be attributed to the issuing authority, and then become more expensive usually than Athens issues. This is due to their extreme rarity. I guy could make a lot of money if he were an expert in these issues and cherry picked dealers. Just like a lot of areas in numismatics, knowledge pays, (literally).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Btw, neat story Doug. I had read similar. Did you notice, though, that the coins are almost always silver or gold, not copper? Silver or gold you do not need to worry really about germs, I always wondered if the ancients knew that, and that is why they were free to do this with expensive coins, but not the coppers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
