I Like Big Bronze. Post Yours Here! Ilbb Thread

When your done playing with the coin send it to me I want to play with it too. :)

Great pick-up, Spence. I love large Ptolemaic bronzes. Yours is a beauty - and without any of the surface deposits that often come with these. Congrats.

Wow. Just wow.

My only Ptolemaic bronze is a tiny fiddly dark little thing barely recognizable as Ptolemaic (I hadn't yet managed a good enough photo for attribution to be possible, and I completely forgot the seller's, but it was somewhere in the II-IV range).
Now I'd be constantly looking for large ancient bronzes! Hope I'm able to find one that is affordable with my money.

I almost said that I don't think I have any pre-1750 large bronzes yet; then I realized that I actually have one (in fact pre-1600), which is so different from what I was thinking of (and from everything posted on this thread so far) that I didn't immediately realize it counted! Rather pretty coin too.
It's stuck at a friend's house right now though, so I'm unlikely to post any photos of it until at least Saturday.

What I do have is something like half a dozen of 18th century 5 kopek pieces though (including a recent purchase with a downright gorgeous circulation cameo - if its post-1600 date is not a problem, I'd be posting pics of it sometime soon).

To be sure, we are all proud of our coins; but I just reviewed the thread and except for a single entry on the first page all the rest here fit with ancient and medieval. May I respectfully suggest that there ought to be a similar thread in the World Coins category for more modern coins.
