They differ in style.&nbsp; Are they from different mints? Mine were ~$30US 20+ years ago. Of the two, I prefer the more worn second one.&nbsp; It is easily well worth the current price and, under current circumstances, double assuming 68 cent NZ to US conversion. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1399008[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1399009[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The two eagles are said to reflect the fact that the coin comes from the joint reign of Ptolemy VI and VIII.&nbsp; I have mine listed as VI but TIF (who is more often correct than I care to admit) lists it as VIII.&nbsp; Reason?</p><p><br /></p><p>For the record, these often sell for more based on size and quality of strike more than wear.&nbsp; IMO they are a coin that belongs in any collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
