Old "find" being parted with!!! Ancient Greek Athenian Owl
I thought I would post this before it goes... 15 years ago I purchased a small lot of ancient Greek coins from a friend of a friend who inherited them. 10 coins total.. I ended up selling off 8 of them on ebay.. after recouping my investment and making a huge profit.. I kept two.. this one and one other.. I decided to go ahead and sell this sooo.. here are the pictures before it goes..
It is a Attica, Athens Silver Tetradrachm from 449 - 423 BC an "Athenian Owl" as most people know them by.. very clean.. no damage... no test cuts... so I count this as a "find" because of how much I paid per coin in the lot and how much they all turned out to be worth when I sold them off years later.. out of the 10.. I ended up getting almost as much as I paid for the entire lot from one of the rarer coins!!
Enjoy!!
