Prices for classical owls are crazy high. Saw one today start at 300 euros and sell for a thousand. A new style one going for almost that. Admit the new style could deserve that. Much nicer coins to hold than the classicals in my opinion.

I see you went for two of the most popular ones. 2200 may have been a good deal at the current prices.

I don't have the coins in my possession, yet. But here are the selling photos. Two were auctions and one a fixed price seller. After spending $2200 (after all fees and shipping), it'll likely be awhile before I buy again. Plus, I need to do a little research to see what coin would compliment these three.

Be easy on me. I'm new to this ancient coin collecting hobby. But definitely share your thoughts on the quality of the coins and whether I spent an insane amount of money on them!

Nice looking coins. You have to step up to get what you want. It's hard to find great coins that no one knows about. I prefer not going to yard sales for the rest of my life expecting to find a treasure in the trash. My folks did and I had to dispose of all their treasures as executor.

All nice ones @flo. Of the three, my fave is the Macedonian Tet, but again all three are good additions to anyone's collection. Well done!
