    I would recommend most dealers on VCoins (though all of them have to agree to abide by a "code of ethics") and FORVM is good from what I hear. I also like CNG. They have electronic auctions that end every couple of weeks.

    Without having looked at the Athens tets on Forum, my guess is there are test cuts in them. This is very common, as those using them 2500 years ago would cut them with a knife, to make sure the coin didn't have a bronze core, being a contemporary forgery.

    Check out CNG's new electronic auction ending 9/10. Some nice Athens coins there.
