Jack:
Those are beautiful coins!

Please educate me, as I am still fairly new to ancient coins, what makes for a good owl? Obviously, a well struck coin in a good state of preservation, but what else? Is it a full crest on the helmet? A complete nose? The owl has to be cute?

Thanks in advance! I hope the question is not too stupid.

Joe Sermarini:
A full crest and nose is quite rare and will command a much higher price. If it is a choice between the crest and nose, would rather have a full nose.

The second coin is my favorite here, even with the test cut.
