Wow, that is a nice piece - you'll notice if it's missing... and btw, I may have missed the back story, but what does this... mean? I hope it didn't turn into a "dryer" coin! (Sorry for the "modern" coin terminology. )
Good to hear from you again, DR. Your posts and presence have been messed. As for your choice of pocket puck (or is that pucket piece?) - simply awesome!
Love the big fat Ptolemy! Say, you've kinda got the Kevin Bacon look goin' on lately. Anyone fancy a "six degrees of Deacon Ray" game?*
Here's my hockey puck. It's amazingly large in hand. PTOLEMAIC EMPIRE EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA. Ptolemy IV 221-205 BC AE Drachma.
