[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3121281, member: 56859"]If he wants to get opinions about how much he should pay for the coin, perhaps HJB isn't the best way to do that, although it might be fun for him to see a large array of good coins! CNG's archives are a good resource (and free). ACsearch is now a paid subscription but it includes a wide array of auction houses. "New Style" Athens tetradrachms are abundant and in general the specific variety (magistrates names... all those little letters on the reverse) don't make as much difference compared to condition, with a some exceptions of course. Sometimes an interesting control mark can make a coin more desirable, or if one of the magistrates is known to history other than from his name on the coin, that too can help. The old price on the coin's flip is overly optimistic in terms of a price for that coin today, perhaps by double.
