Ron, that is a great coin. I got one of these guys fairly recently and they have superb heft. Feels like a hockey puck to me! As I recall, VK's description was food related: http://goccf.com/t/259622"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Thanks Dave, this is a small one compared to some. I have my eye on a big one for sale now, hoping it doesn't go too high though I expect it to be expensive.

Fantastic pickup, Ron. What a nice example. I have always admired the Ptolemaic bronzes, and yours has held up really well through the centuries.

Don't know how I missed this first time round Ron  Very nice pick up, no sign of any double strike on the reverse which makes the eagles nice and clear |
