I haven't gotten 50 quality posts so I don't know if the Fourm Mom will allow this link to an active ebay listing for Ptolemy of Kingdom. I'm going to try and we'll see.

What's this coin worth? I'm being lazy and not digging into the literature, which is still cumbersome for this freshly bitten ancient coin collector.

Thanks everyone. I'm having a blast and I'll never look a modern coin in the same way again. I still get excited about rare and unusual coins from colonial to the latest strike, so I've just branched out.

The coin looks legit, but overcleaned and corroded. I don't think it's worth the price.

I have no idea of value, but this coin has an odd look for the type. I think I would stay away.

I think it looks like a possible fake... Or atleast very overcleaned, corroded and looks to have active corrosion...

You know, I am not an expert but for some reason it looked odd to me too. I can't put my finger on it, over cleaned maybe and a poor photo?

Thanks everyone. The reverse scared me, it didn't match the obverse in quality. Perhaps that's the over cleaning mentioned by many.
I'm only watching it not bidding. I think one guy will get it at the current bid.
