<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carl Wilmont, post: 8127244, member: 75496&quot;]Very nice coin <i>and</i> photo, @ValientKnight!&nbsp; The coin is well-lit and the image is sharp.&nbsp;&nbsp; I hope to gain some better skills in photographing coins after I have more time to assemble a set-up and practice.&nbsp; I&#039;ve enjoyed reading tips from experts on CoinTalk!&nbsp;&nbsp; Here&#039;s a similar Ptolemy II coin- seller&#039;s photo. One difference in this design is that the shield is behind the eagle instead of in front of it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1415504[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Ptolemaic Kingdom.
