[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2064057, member: 19463"]When I got one of these (and it has been a while), I'd go to this page and try to find a match. [url]http://www.megagem.com/ancient/ptolemy_series.html[/url] I like the size and fabric of these but decided that you only need so many before you need to justify what the new one adds to the overall collection. After I got my eighth that stopped me from paying for most new ones that tempted me. I was able to talk myself into a hundred falling horsemen because of some of their differences but a lot of their appeal was the low price and Ptolemy coins of any size are not cheap. I really should buy some of the really small ones. I do have one little thing that is different but not very high grade. I bought it because it was different but after 15 years it has not driven me to study what else there is that is not Zeus/eagle. I'm not proud of that. Ptolemy III or VIII ??? AE16 3.2g Kyrene mint with head of Libya reverse. [ATTACH=full]380974[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
