[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 7831432, member: 41219"]The USPS finally came through! Let me tell you, it has been a tough wait. But it was totally worth it! My 3 wins were perfect editions to the FF collection and there was a surprise gift inside from none other than [USER=90981]@Shea19[/USER] ! First, my 3 wins. The pictures are not as good as the auction pictures but...the light was dying thanks to an incoming thunderstorm sooooo it is what it is for now. First up: A new Roman emperor to add to my growing Alexandrian billon tetradrachm collection. [ATTACH=full]1345740[/ATTACH] Philip I 244-249 AD (Year 5 247/248 AD) AE tetradrachm Obverse: A K M IOV ΦIΛIΠΠOC EVCE, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right Reverse: Alexandria, mural crown, standing left, holding bust of Serapis and sceptre; L E (date) across field. Emmett 3469, Köln 2736. Second (and my favorite of the 3 I won): [ATTACH=full]1345741[/ATTACH] Basil I with Leo VI and Constantine 867-886 AD AE follis Obverse: + LЄOҺ ЬASIL S COҺST AЧGG; Crowned half-length facing busts of Basil, wearing loros, between Leo and Constantine, each wearing chlamys. Reverse: + ЬASIL / COҺSTAҺ / T S LЄOҺ ЄҺ / ΘO ЬASILS / ROMЄOҺ. SB 1713. * I'm pretty sure this is an overstrike on an earlier coin based on what looks like something over Basil's head around 1 o'clock. I will have to do some research. Third: A new English king to add to the fledgling collection of English hammered coins I started this year. [ATTACH=full]1345739[/ATTACH] Edward III 1327-1377 AD AR penny, 4th coinage, post-treaty period, issued 1369-1377, archbishop Thoresby or Neville. York, Obverse: EDWARD REX ANGLIE Z FR, saltire stops; facing bust. Reverse: long cross with quatrefoil at centre and pellets dividing +CIVI TAS EBO RACI with cross before CIVI for York mint. Last, but certainly not least, is a beautiful coin from the Ptolemaic Kings of Egypt and ex: [USER=90981]@Shea19[/USER] coin. My daughter has been complaining that we don't have enough girls in our collection so she was excited to have a coin with a girl (Isis) on it! She has laid claim to this coin and I think it will be a great addition to her growing collection. [ATTACH=full]1345750[/ATTACH] Ptolemy VI Philometor 2nd reign, 163-145 BCE AE27 (=60 new drachms =1 old drachm) Alexandria Obverse: Head of Isis wearing wreath of grain ears right Reverse: ΠTOΛEMAIOY BAΣIΛEΩΣ; Eagle standing on a thunderbolt left with wings open.
