<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2601013, member: 10461&quot;]I just bought my first ancient Owl!&nbsp; Had a thing for owls since I was a kid.&nbsp; Always wanted one on an ancient coin.&nbsp; Never had one.&nbsp; Until I pulled the trigger on this a few minutes ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not one of the famous Athenian owls, but I&#039;ve always liked this type just about as much.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ma-shops.com/schrag/item.php5?id=2604&amp;lang=en&amp;curr=EUR" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ma-shops.com/schrag/item.php5?id=2604&amp;lang=en&amp;curr=EUR" rel="nofollow">Here is the World Coins Schrag listing on MA-Shops. </a></p><p><br /></p><p>I hadn&#039;t browsed MA-Shops in a while, but Schrag just sent me a 20-Euro voucher in email, so I went for a look, and this one flew off the page at me.</p><p><br /></p><p>The voucher essentially offset the PayPal surcharge and shipping.&nbsp; My final cost after currency conversion was $173.41 USD. </p><p><br /></p><p>I browsed VCoins for comparison and found only three of this earlier type with Hera&#039;s head facing left.&nbsp; One was nicer than this, but $470.00.&nbsp; The next was $125.00 but low grade and ugly.&nbsp; The last was only $80.00 and had detail as nice as or better than this coin, but a giant test cut that almost bisected the coin.&nbsp; So for the money, I think I did pretty well, despite my opinion that this coin is more of a VF than EF as described.&nbsp; I do think it looks fairly wholesome despite the modest grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think? How&#039;d I do, here?</p><p><br /></p><p>Got any of these, or any info to share?&nbsp; Post away!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.ma-shops.com%2Fschrag%2Fpic%2F2604_angr016.jpg&amp;hash=c35d9c17d68ceb981c564449f6419cc0" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
