<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3228630, member: 19463"]The question I have yet to see answered is whether the large number of really decent tetradrachms is representative of what was found or if the dealers that are showing the $2k coins fully truthful when they say they got to pick the cream of the crop so there are also many losers. What I have seen in the high end coins will not cause any reduction in the price for these. It could even cause the price to go up since there will be no problem getting really nice examples and many people want them. The question is how many coins were found that have noses off flan, poorly struck owls or other problems. The market will absorb a few thousand. Ten thousand dogs will be harder to move. IMHO, the $2000 examples I saw at a show were easily worth double this coin. It will be years until we know the effect on what exists. </p><p><br /></p><p>Be honest: If you found 1000 perfect owls, how many would you send to market all at once? Same question for 100,000??? If there is a coin that the market could absorb in that quantity without killing the price it would be nice style owls. I would not expect anyone to tell how many there are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
