<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrsmat71, post: 1870249, member: 42634&quot;]hi all,</p><p>&nbsp;i picked this ptolemy coin up at a coin show a couple months ago,&nbsp; dealer listed as ptolemy vii with no further attribution.&nbsp; didn&#039;t think i&#039;d be able to ID it considering the condition, so it&#039;s been one of my &quot;desk pieces&quot; since then. ....a coin i just leave on my desk so i can pick it up an play with it whenever i want.</p><p><br /></p><p>anyway, i thought i would give an ID a shot.&nbsp; based on the style of the obverse, the position of the wings/head of the eagle on the back, the off target hit, and the size...25 mm and thin, for the type at 8.1 g, i think it may be a ptolemy X coin like this one..</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ancientimports.com/cgi-bin/lotinfo.pl?id=24261" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ancientimports.com/cgi-bin/lotinfo.pl?id=24261" rel="nofollow">http://www.ancientimports.com/cgi-bin/lotinfo.pl?id=24261</a></p><p><br /></p><p>also notice it has that little &quot;dot&quot; by the right wing that&#039;s visible.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>here&#039;s mine...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/chrsmat71/media/misc%20ancients%20and%20medieval%20coins/102_4236_zpsa759dd59.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/chrsmat71/media/misc%20ancients%20and%20medieval%20coins/102_4236_zpsa759dd59.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg513/chrsmat71/misc%20ancients%20and%20medieval%20coins/102_4236_zpsa759dd59.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/chrsmat71/media/misc%20ancients%20and%20medieval%20coins/102_4239_zps68db50e5.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/chrsmat71/media/misc%20ancients%20and%20medieval%20coins/102_4239_zps68db50e5.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg513/chrsmat71/misc%20ancients%20and%20medieval%20coins/102_4239_zps68db50e5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>any ideas?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
