Poor Athena has lost the top of her head and the tip of her nose. Slightly roughed up surfaces and a big graffiti &quot;X&quot; on the cheek.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/normal_Athens_1a_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
