They are beautiful coins. I have one of the same year, but it has some sort of ... goo type stuff on the reverse that I do not think I can get off without damaging the coin sadly <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The front is nice though heh.</p><p>doug, I think that Ptolemaic coin is the heaviest ancient coin I have ever seen a photo of.</p><p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p><p><br /></p><p>Ah, I just aquired some nice Straits Settlements coppers.... one 1884 and one 1908, The Straits Settlements have always been one of my favorite places to collect coins from. I have only a couple of bronzes from there though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some heavy bronzes.... this one of Julia Mamaea, the first two photos, the Mother of Emperor Severus Alexander (222 - 235 AD) weighs over 25 Grams.... and is thick!! The one of her son, with Mars on the reverse, third photo, is just slightly less heavy.... the fourth photo is of the same Emperor and weighs a bit less at 18.82 grams as the slab showed. So all pretty heavy coins, and quite old. The final pic shows the Emperor in a Quadriga, it is a different coin than the others, but of the same Emperor and time period 222 - 235 AD. Also of similar heft.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
