<p>[QUOTE=&quot;elgeedublu, post: 2001051, member: 72086&quot;]Hi Rick...&quot;Starr&quot; refers to Chester Starr, who I believe was a professor of classics in Michigan...anyway, his book &quot;Athenian Coinage 480-449 B.C.&quot; pretty much laid out the sequence of owls from just after the Persian Wars (and Athens&#039; archaic coinage) down to the issuance of &quot;standard&quot; owls.&nbsp; Although most people now think his dating of the coins are 5-10 years off (based on subsequent hoard finds), his basic 5 groups and sub-groups are still used for coins from this period.&nbsp; Some collectors think Starr owls are the most attractive of Athenian coins; there are significant style differences from the standard owls, for example.&nbsp; Anyway, reprints of Starr&#039;s book are easily found on all the usual book sites for around 25 bucks or so, while an original copy (which you will want should you become interested in these coins; the plates are better) run around $125-$200 depending on condition.&nbsp; Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
