Gorgeous coin. Congrats!
I agree, Ptolemy IV, Alexandria cornucopia series 5 from Ptolemybronze.com. Perhaps lambda-iota as leg mongrams (ΛΙ).

Nice pick-up @ER--these are pretty substantial coins!

Wow. You got a great deal. These monsters typically go for a good deal more, especially in this condition. Well done.

cheap flea market grading service @ER, obviously it is your choice, but I would argue that submitting your coin to a basement TPG could be worse than leaving it raw in terms of sale-ability. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Spence my answer to that would be most likely it would lower the chance of sale unless the holder looked really good ;)

You got it for an excellent price, one this nice would sell in the $225 range. I would not waste your money to have it graded the only ancient coins that I would ever consider to be graded are high end silver or gold.
