If it was a few dollars I would have to think about it, otherwise I wouldn't spend any money on it. Report this Post to the Staff

You know you have to be super careful with regards to these, they are the most counterfeited coins out there. I would advice you do a search on Vcoins for "Attica Owl" and then order cheapest first and this will give you an idea of pricing in comparison to eye appeal. Report this Post to the Staff

Some of those Eastern imitatives got pretty weird looking. But, yeah, it's in rough shape...hold out for better if you can. Report this Post to the Staff
