<p>[QUOTE="elgeedublu, post: 2000925, member: 72086"]Hi (Doug?) Thanks for your reply. I've not laid out my coins next to a copy of Svoronos and "had at it"--I only have the reprint, and it is hard to see much detail in the plates, frankly. I think Svoronos' dating and in many cases his sequences is/are generally quite far off from what I've read that is of more recent date. I've enjoyed seeing page after page of owls in the book, but what with Starr, online research, etc., I haven't used Svoronos very much as a real resource per se. Regarding my coins, I think they were found together; at least, I obtained them from the same source. I suspect that is why the somewhat unusual thin, long test cuts are placed similarly on the two coins. Lastly, no--I am completely unfamiliar with Athenian "fractions"--but I would enjoy trying to look them up! It is interesting that the smaller size led to the design of just one leaf on the twig. And no moon!.....hmmm.....I will try to post something if I can look these up! Thanks....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
