    Worn but beautiful. What is the size and weight? These can be in small to really really large. BTW, I like your avatar.

    Fantastic coin!! => sure, it may be a tad over-cleaned, but it sure is sweet lookin' (I love the bright bronzy look!! => sweet eye-appeal)

    => ummm, I don't have any Ptolemy III examples ... oh, but I do have a couple of sweet P-IV's
