[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2198285, member: 42773"]Excellent choices jwt ;) You've got to be careful buying the larger denominations because many of them are tooled. Despite the size of the flans, the dies were not carved in high relief, and some dealer-doctors feel they have to improve the definition of the devices with a dremel. My most recent addition came home with me from Baltimore, ex-CNG... [ATTACH=full]428027[/ATTACH] [B] [SIZE=3]Ptolemaic Kings of Egypt. Ptolemy III Euergetes. 246-222 BC. [/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=3] Æ Triobol, 34mm, 34.07g, 12h; Alexandreia mint. Series 5. Struck 230-222 BC. Obv.: Diademed head of Zeus-Ammon right. Rev.: Eagle with closed wings standing left on thunderbolt; filleted cornucopia to left, XP monogram between legs. Reference: Svoronos 965; Weiser 72; SNG Copenhagen 173-5; Noeske 120-2. Notes: ex-CNG, ex-Andy Singer (Baltimore Expo), 3/28/15.[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
