Benefactor robinjojo Posted July 2, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) I just saw this owl tonight on eBay, under "sold" items. It is in an NGC slab with a MS star grade. Sellers can apparently show the listed price as the sold price, even though the item was either sold at a lower price, or, possibly not sold at all. https://www.ebay.com/itm/353926512941?hash=item5267aa012d%3Ag%3AS2UAAOSwcp5fUT4f&nma=true&si=MdLyBpUFSNLkUFCgFpjhUEddHok%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Edited July 2, 2022 by robinjojo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewStyleKing Posted July 2, 2022 · Member Share Posted July 2, 2022 All old style tetradrachm's especially the mass classic owls are vastly over priced. The very few NewStyle that appear on the bay also are ridiculously over priced. IMHO, there are 500 old style tets, to every NewStyle. Indeed the NewStyle, fresh to the market has all but dried up, whilst the old style just powers on, and on, and on ad nauseum.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewStyleKing Posted July 2, 2022 · Member Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) on V coins, a dealer with links to the east has a load of Seleucid tetradrachms that all have the same patina for sale. A fresh hoard with a couple of new variations too!And look at the other coins that share the same patina. Seleucus lV ,Antiochus lll Demetrios l, Alexander Balas Euthydemos of Bactria Antiochus lV Epiphanes Antiochus ll Antiochos l Several Eastern Macedonia Alexanders Lysicamos Pamphylia Aspendos. "Z" has an interesting group if indeed they do come from the same hoard as they look to me! It would be an interesting article for an expert. on the range of coins circulating at the time of Balas. Alexander imitations with Bactrian and Lysimachi and Pamphylian! Any experts out there want to pull an oar?

Benefactor robinjojo Posted July 10, 2022 · Benefactor Author Benefactor Share Posted July 10, 2022 Most of those owls seem to be eastern imitations and I think the price for that lot is too high, way too high, IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kali Posted July 10, 2022 · Member Share Posted July 10, 2022 Beautiful coin, but yeah, way too expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientJoe Posted July 10, 2022 · Member Share Posted July 10, 2022 That's an objectively nice box. Almost makes it worth it 😉 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
