Very nice  Quote:

Yes...I really like your owl tet too!  Great detail on the owl and tets from the mid-later "mass owl" period often don't show the incuse square. This is a great example of the type! |

You are more likely to find the square on earlier coins. I don't have a tet to show but this obol has it.  |

 This one doesn't seem much different to mine, but is in a better state of preservation... As you can see the square that the owl stands within is still present and the coin costs £1,300 more than mine does. I like your own Ancient ^^ he does indeed look like he aw a mouse or perhaps a baby! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pecV8i8M2J0The coin which I have purchased does not have a date or catalogue reference in the description... is anyone able to supply me those details?

Welcome to the owl club. What a lovely first owl. Having one without any test cuts or bankers marks is great. Having a full crest on the helmet and the incuse square makes them expensive. I have accepted test cuts and marks on my older tets:-  I managed to get an early transitional type without any cuts:-  My later profile type isn't so nice but it is difficult to find really nice ones in my price range.  My Egyptian imitative also has a test cut but I can live with it.  I don't have any of the smaller denominations yet or any of the other imitative types but I live in hope. Regards, Martin |

Some nice examples...^^
If someone wants to point out the date of mine and the catalogue number I would appreciate it, these all look pretty similar in archaic types so any other hints about what features give away the date and type would be considered with interest :)

Thanks for the link, I know I have seen that page before but I should have bookmarked it.
Anyway after carefully comparing my coin to that page I decided mine appeared to be the same as a 431-393 BC, Sear 2526v., SNG München 52, Davis 143 which is type C neutral mouth I think. I hope you all agree ^^
And nice coins Ancient :) and nice vatar DV. :)
