<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1786790, member: 19463&quot;]My Ptolemy I with delta behind ear demonstrates that many coins of this period received banker&#039;s marks which will downgrade them in the eyes of a collector today. I only paid $85 but that was in 1991 so it might have gone up a bit. The second coin is Ptolemy II and priceless to me but no one cares but me so it is right that I own it. The date on the reverse in Greek numerals was lambda gamma (33) but the gamma was overcut with a delta making it year 34. Who else has seen an overdate? I assume that the die was the one in use when the year changed but it could have been a corrected error. There is n0 way to know.&nbsp; I bought it in 1989 from the estate of a friend who was one of the few people I ever met who would enjoy owning this beat up coin over a nicer one without the overdate.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]287369[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]287370[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
