lod254 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 05/21/2014 09:16 am Is this a Ptolemy I or II? Is there a definite way to make that distinction? http://www.ebay.com/itm/37106133291....m1423.l2649 Or this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/PTOLEMY-I-A...em43c9d2927b There are a few nice looking ones on Vcoins as well, but how do I know if they're I's over II's? http://www.vcoins.com/en/Search.asp...By=price_asc Edited by lod254 05/21/2014 09:22 am Report this Post to the Staff

chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4981 Posts	Posted 05/21/2014 8:39 pm it's very hard for me to tell these apart. probably the one on coins are correctly attributed..I'm really familiar with the ebay seller, but I have seen their listings before. long story short...use pish's link! the fist section is "coin photos" go there first. if it isn't clear what you've got, go to the link on the same page called " read svoronos online"..it has lots of details on types.
