<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 1782864, member: 56859&quot;]I bought a 12-coin lot recently. The lot was billed as &quot;Ptolemaic Egypt, Bronze Issues&quot; and the limited description indicated that most depicted Zeus-Ammon with eagle reverse. There was only one picture and it showed 8 of the coins in a pile. Being a couple thousand miles from Chicago, I couldn&#039;t just drop by and examine the lot in person but the description said it featured a 47mm coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I like Ptolemy coins, I like big bronze, and I bought the lot primarily for that one jumbo puck, which is now the largest in my small collection (largest by mm, not by weight-- my Carthage 15 shekel is slightly heavier).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The lot arrived today. Here&#039;s a shot of the obverses. (camera charger died... making do with my iPhone)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]285792[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>Hello, what&#039;s this? An Augustus &amp; Agrippa COL-NEM?? </i>Fantastic! I just saw that coin for the first time last week and immediately put it near the top of my to-buy list! I&#039;d like to get one in better condition but it was a nice surprise <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]285793[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The coins did not come with attributions.
