<p>[QUOTE="Dafydd, post: 4560921, member: 86815"][ATTACH=full]1129017[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1129018[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1129019[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1129020[/ATTACH] I thought I would tag onto this thread as it is my first and probably only Owl that turned up today. It is my only Greek coin and way outside of my Republican and 1st and 2nd Century interests but there were many compelling reasons why I wanted one. My late mother was keen on Owls and people used to buy her ornaments and bits and pieces that were Owl related, I have Tawny Owls in front of my house and I hear them at night, the use of them is related in a couple of Christian Cameron works of historical fiction and finally I have been following these threads with interest. All pretty random stuff but I have been low bidding on them for some time in the hope of picking one up at a reasonable price. I won this in last weeks DNW auction and with all the bits it worked out at about $560 which I was happy with. Description is Good Very Fine which pleases me as I can romantically consider it may have had some use other than being part of a hoard. Weight is 17.15 g ,Sear 2526. Olive sprig to the left of Athena. I am experimenting still with photography and took several images and every one could have been a different coin! That is work in progress for me.</p><p>I didn't see the email invoice but called them yesterday at 3 pm and paid for it and it arrived in the mail this morning, processed and packed in 2 hours. I was amazed as they had an auction in progress as well yesterday. Despite what you may have heard, in the UK the postal service is working better than ever, possibly because of reduced traffic. I have always enjoyed rapid shipping with DNW and commend them for it.
