    Gave it a 9.
    Nice coin!
    Didrachms are not common, and Ptolemy VI and especially Ptolemy VIII are very interesting historical figures. I remember I was in college, man I miss 2016, reading about Ptolemy VIII and how he killed his nephew and sent the cut up remains to his estranged sister-wife to Cyprus for her birthday That really makes Game of Thrones look tame in comparison!
