<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 1680485, member: 44140&quot;]I just picked this up from one of our fellow members who runs an ebay store. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have been wanting one of those huge Ptolemy Bronzes, I found it extremely difficult and/ or impossible to find the mega-huge ones 80 - 90 grams affordable and in nice condition. So I decided on a 70 grammer, but all of those available were in gF condition at best, and pricey to boot. I did find a 45 grammer for what I wanted to spend and asked my coin bro here what he thought, he thought it was OK but was not pleased with the worn reverse. I did notice afterwards he had one for sale. His of course was better than the rest by a long shot. I thought it was exceptional, although a little more than I wanted to spend, I really feel as though I spent wisely, and got a good deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Funny thing- The fellow collector and seller who I hope will chime in takes great &quot;in hand&quot; pics which is very hard to improve upon but I have a thing about shooting my own photos...</p><p><br /></p><p>:hail:</p><p><br /></p><p>Ptolemy IV Philopater (222-204 BC)</p><p>Ptolemaic Kingdom,</p><p>Egypt, Alexandria mint.</p><p>AE 38 Unit - 38.6 mm x 45.8 g</p><p>Obverse: Diademed and horned but of Ammon Zeus </p><p>Reverse: Eagle standing on thunderbolt.- PTOLEMAIOY BASILEWS</p><p>REF:SNG Cop 228-229</p><p>Note: Super Sexy Perfect Patina</p><p>[ATTACH]251582.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
