Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 09/14/2013 08:14 am Wow, found one for sale which is 48mm! And a 50mm roman?! Report this Post to the Staff
ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 09/14/2013 08:23 am Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on those 48mm Edgar L. Owen Ptolemaic coins :) Thought about getting one of the big ones but ended up buying a mixed lot containing a 47.5mm Ptolemy. BTW, your picture link for the 50mm Roman is broken...

ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 09/14/2013 08:31 am I posted it in the ILBB thread, a group shot. https://goccf.com/t/156462&whichpage=4#1438937 My good camera's battery charger is dead and I can't take decent pictures right now. I need to shoot individual pics of that lot. I'm treating the verdigris on a couple of them right now. I spent a goodly amount on the lot but figured the price paid was decent when compared to the price of a single 48mm Ptolemy from Edgar L. Owen. And I got a nice surprise-- the COL-NEM. I bought the lot almost blind-- the picture showed only 8 of the 12 in a pile and only mentioned the size of the largest Ptolemy. In retrospect you can see the COL-NEM peeking out from the pile but there wasn't enough of it showing for me to ID it pre-purchase.

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 09/14/2013 08:42 am Holy moly. Thats an awesome lot. How much is a fair lot? How many hundreds? Report this Post to the Staff
ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 09/14/2013 08:47 am Many hundreds. More than the cost of a 48mm Ptolemy alone, but there are 12 coins and I like them all. Report this Post to the Staff
