<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3588077, member: 19463&quot;]Requesting an opinion.&nbsp; If a transitional owl with separate tail feathers is $x, all other things being equal, what is the market value of the earliest prong tail coins?&nbsp; I am not in the market for a three feather coin but, if I were, I would not find humor in a seller selling a prong tail as &#039;transitional&#039;?&nbsp; They may be right and it may have been made in the first batch of prongs but we have to draw the line somewhere.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]958315[/ATTACH] </p><p>I have shown many times my beat up obol with three feathers on an oval flan.&nbsp; Oh, how I would love to see this coin as it fell from the dies.&nbsp; Who has one?&nbsp; Increasingly I discover that I participate in a sub-specialty where die work is important to a greater degree than state of preservation.&nbsp; On modern coins, the dies are the same so there is no &#039;fine style&#039; to be had (except for the $20 Roman numeral date coins).&nbsp; I don&#039;t collect modern coins and dies matter. </p><p><br /></p><p>if you add the triple tail and deep incuse we can agree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
