The patina sold me on this coin, it is a very nice rich chocolate brown. It's 4mm thick and the alignment is 11h so it's almost perfect. My scale shows the weight at 44.2 grams a little more than what the seller had.

Check your scale with a newish US nickel should be 5g ish, or a dollar bill a gram. That will tell you if your scale is off and approximately what margin.

Nice ! Pound for pound (or gram for gram) the best bargain to be had of any coin.
George III 'cartwheels' are nice ..... but Ptolemaic drachms are great !

There is one of these I am tempted to buy for AUD$100.
About the same detail obverse, and a bit better detail reverse.
Like some of the others here, I have had the decision to buy on the back burner for way too long.

I once had one at 15mm that I sold for a whole $10 (very nice too !)
I mistakenly listed it 13mm (these old eyeballs play tricks sometimes) and the buyer was so disturbed by this he sent it back ! Well he did probably already have one .....
15mm is I believe the smallest I have 'seen' with these old eyeballs
