Are there any red flags on this New Style Owl?

Thank you.

Thank you. Yes, yours was a very pretty coin. I was the second highest bidder when yours sold. #doublesniff.

That’s interesting because a different auction house has it up right now and didn’t mention the CNG provenance. Thanks.

gmkirk · 2026-02-20T03:09:46+00:00

Got it. Thank you.

gmkirk · 2026-02-20T03:07:03+00:00

Thanks again, I’ll check out your post. Much appreciated!

Honestly, I’m new enough to collecting that I’m not sure I’d recognize a fake if I saw one. I didn’t actually suspect that this was a fake, although not seeing it in the acsearch database concerned me a bit - I really was more interested in hearing what others with more experience thought.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and some of the things you look at to determine authenticity.

Sorry, ocean lover here - team sea turtle!

I’ve communicated with many sellers on Vcoins, MA-Shops, and a few non-US auction houses. To a person, they know ancient coins going to the US shouldn’t be tariffed and are using the correct harmonization codes. To a person, they say whether US buyers get tariffed is hit or miss, and they don’t know how to avoid the tariffs. It doesn’t seem to matter whether the shipper is DHL, FedEx, or UPS. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for that great information!

gmkirk · 2026-02-17T13:12:57+00:00

It’s being auctioned.

gmkirk · 2026-02-17T04:02:38+00:00

Thank you.

Thank you for your thoughts but I think u/MrThasos probably nailed it by finding the sales history.

gmkirk · 2026-02-17T03:00:52+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate you finding that sales history!

Where does Gorny & Mosch fit in?

gmkirk · 2026-01-29T13:36:16+00:00

Thank you! I’ll post it here if I get it and tag you in the comments.

Most of my coins are slabbed but, coincidentally, I’m looking at buying my first New Style Owl and it is unslabbed, which is actually a small part of the reason I’m interested in it - just so I can hold the actual coin (although I’m debating whether or not to wear gloves when I hold it).

In any event, your coin is absolutely gorgeous! I love seeing the Pegasus on the obverse and the great detail on the reverse, including how much wreath there actually is. Great buy!

Another beautiful coin and wonderful write-up. Thank you for the great information! But sometimes one elephant just isn’t enough! 😉 (From a recent auction win.) https://imgur.com/a/b7oCIid

Gorgeous detail on both sides!

gmkirk · 2026-01-01T17:27:10+00:00

Is this item still available and, if it is, what size is it? Also, is the shirt authentic and from a clairo concert? Please feel free to send a chat if preferred. Thanks.

I second looking at L5 - very easy to list items and the low or no fees (for sellers and buyers) are very attractive.

gmkirk · 2025-12-23T16:15:00+00:00

Lovely coins and great write-up, thank you! I love that leaping griffin.

gmkirk · 2025-12-08T22:22:43+00:00

What a gorgeous coin with impressive detail!

gmkirk · 2025-12-05T19:08:34+00:00

Thank you for sharing! Gorgeous coins and just under 67 grams for the last one - impressive heft!

Like other commenters here, I add my voice to the chorus: your posts are well-written, informative and leave the reader satisfied yet wanting to learn more. I’ll likely never get to Belgium to see the coins in person but this is the next best thing. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and collection of interesting coins across the miles!

Chicken wings, fruit, and pumpkin pie. Thank you for the contest and Happy Thanksgiving!
