I'm trying to get one of each of the main types of ptolemy coins, recently picked up this big double eagle.




[​IMG]

ptolemy vi
180-145 bc
o: zeus amon
r: two eagles on thunderbolt, cornucopia left
30 mm
22.3g
SNG Copenhagen 308.
Svoronos 1424

if it looks a bit "wet", I treated it with verdicare. some of the green I was suspicious of(a small amount came off when scraped...so I hit it just to be safe).

Ptolemy-VI-Doulbe-Eagle

check out this sweet edge shot...man, I love 'em thick!
