<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 3203179, member: 76086&quot;]Hmmm.&nbsp; I can offer some comments as a dealer (and one who has sold out of all Athenian tetradrachms currently so dont accuse me of promoting!).&nbsp; Prices for these can be very dramatic and wide-ranging.&nbsp; It can be hard for me to comment specifically as I read the thread in its beginning and saw the coin in question but that Ebay lot has now closed and Ebay does not let you see the price realized unless you are the winner.&nbsp; So...in general:</p><p><br /></p><p>There are a multitude of types of these coins, from early to late, large flans, compact flans, full crest, no crest, the list goes on.&nbsp; In general one can expect these coins in VF to sell around $300 and up and entirely depending on various factors. Examples with test cuts in general sell for $200-300.&nbsp; There are other factors involved, [USER=76194]@Sallent[/USER] showed his lovely example which has old toning (which for me has a premium but for others none).&nbsp; I would say that <b><i>in general</i></b>, one should expect to pay $500 for a nice example.&nbsp; It will entirely depend on you to decide (hopefully with much research) what works for you and what you are willing to pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>With regards to the new hoard that is now out there:&nbsp; It might be career suicide for me to let collectors in general know what these coins cost at wholesale (and it is a <i><b>whole lot more</b></i> than what everyone thinks).&nbsp; However, I have already seen where many dealers are listing these in their auction with starting prices less than half of what I know they paid for them.&nbsp; They are taking their chances, so watch the auctions closely.&nbsp; One might be able to catch some of these very cheaply.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
