[QUOTE="AncientJoe, post: 7809728, member: 44357"][URL]https://www.vcoins.com[/URL] has many, then there's CNG, Harlan Berk, and various auction houses on Sixbid/Numisbids/others. That's an offer I suggested you to take when you posted on the PCGS forum asking for advice. I would be quite surprised if anyone else comes around in the next several years offering more (and if they do, I could sell them a couple hundred more and a share in a nice bridge). One uninformed offer from a buyer who indiscriminately placed offers on dozens of near-identical coins does not indicate a price trajectory. As mentioned, there is a hoard of thousands of Athens tetradrachms trickling out on the market and the offer you received would allow you to buy an even nicer example or a few other coins. Between the last two Roma e-sales, there were [I][B]256 [/B][/I]nice Athens tetradrachms, almost all < $1K. As many other members have posted here, if you ask a question, it would be beneficial if you listened to the given advice. To the original point: common, high-grade denarii in particular tend to be significantly overpriced when slabbed - you'd get a nicer, genuine coin for 1/4th the price buying raw from trusted dealers.[/QUOTE]
