<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 2997117, member: 85693&quot;]This was a bit of a surprise in the mail today.&nbsp; Listed on on eBay as &quot;Ancient Coin Unknown Date&quot; I got it for $0.99.&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t tell how big it was in the photos, but I suspected it was a Ptolemy-era bronze in lousy shape, but for the price it seemed worth it. </p><p><br /></p><p>When it showed up I was surprised to see that it appears to be two coins stuck together.&nbsp; Or is it a single, really lousy, planchet?&nbsp; I&#039;ve been going over the Ptolemybronze.com site (which is wonderful) and can&#039;t figure it out.&nbsp; The obverse does not look like the usual Zeus Ammon to me.&nbsp; Isis?&nbsp; Syracuse imitation?&nbsp; Maybe it is some Seleucid issue?&nbsp; I am out of my depth here. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is about 30 mm in diameter and weighs 18.29 grams.&nbsp; Can anyone help with this?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]740692[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]740693[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]740694[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]740695[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]740696[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
