Wow! That's a great first ancient! That's a gorgeous example of perhaps the most famous of ancient coins.
A beautifully centered example. Nice!

+1 An example of which was my first significant ancient acquisition after about a decade search for one.
Thank you very much! I have always loved this design.
@savitale Thank you!
@SaorAlba Sometimes it takes a long time to find the right coin. I was lucky that there are a few nice ones out there right now.
Great pickup. I looked at many before buying my owl as well. Congrats!

Not familiar with ancients, but the strike on the owl is fantastic!

A very nice Owl, Stella. And yours is the rarer 455 BC Early Transitional Type. Wonderful! I love those early type. Hope to get one in the near future. So far, I am successful landing only the Classical. Here is mine, recently from Heritage.
Thank you, @Kkathyl .
Agreed, @happycollecting . The earlier type was one of the reasons I picked this particular coin. Yours is a nice piece as well!
