    That is a fantastic coin despite its condition. How did it not get Clio'd? Nice catch :)

    Was the date where the mint mark is usually? Its a decent coin of a interesting ruler. What is that just under the bird hand looks like NALW?

    The date is under the eagle. Here it is in a much better example than mine:

    Neato!! Great choice!! I would expect you to hold out for the elephant headdress version. ;)

    I have many different Ptolemy I coins on my buy list (including the elephant headdress) but it is taking a long time to find the right ones at the right price at the right time. This satrapal tetradrachm isn't as nice as I'd like but it was a case of "itching to get something of his" :D. I can't afford to buy high-end examples of each Ptolemy Soter so some will have to be "problem" examples. I was happy enough with the condition of this coin, which isn't in the top tier of the Ptolemy I types on the list.

    A classic coin of the Discouri on horseback

    And a classic song: Born to be wild

    *Horses were the Harleys of antiquity, so it sort of fits with the coin.

    As far as the coins condition, it is more than fine by me. I certainly wouldn't mind having it. Ptolemy I is on my list in several forms. I look forward to seeing more.

    Their first album was fantastic.

    The rules here stipulate you should have posted four coins...pretty sure that's a demerit. :rage:

    :D

    In the day I preferred the Raincoats' version because I considered Palmolive the best drummer then working.
