Judging by the look of that drachm, the coins she likes are a bit older and bigger than large cents.

Doug, thank you for the reading material. It is most informative and appreciated..

On a side note....I always associated Serapis with John Paul Jones. Thanks for the insite....

 

She just be liking old coins Ardy....

 

I figured you would have something Doug. put a gun to my head I would say the Ptolemy ones at least were to file down the flan because of the striation marks and evidence of the dimple has turn marks in it. It boggles my mind my little AE12 Cleopatra VII's have them as well, you would think they wouldn't have to adjust something that tiny! It proves, since she was the last Ptolemy, that they did this throughout the Ptolemaic period, though, and it looks like eastern mints in the Roman empire as well.

 

Oh you devil. What the hell you be concocting?

 

HA! I didn't mean that, but FUNNY!

 

That's absolutely fantastic ! A really nice story. Thank you for sharing it.
