Another Judean Coin: Marcus Ambibulus?

Marcus Ambibulus looks right to me. Now, try adding more details for the coin's attribution.

Nice judean coin. I dont have any of these yet.

I saw your ebay auction site. If you want higher than zero price, you should go with buy it now sales. Of course that is up to you.

Perhaps in the future I might be interested in other coins that you sell as long as you're willing to negotiate on a price.

I am not the rules gestapo, but you might want to read them about selling coins here and how many posts you need to mention your ebay site.

Buy it now says this is what you want for the item. There is also buy it now and best offer combined. Whatever someone offers you a price, you can accept it or refuse.

Also, so that you know, this site is more about the education of coins rather than selling of coins even though people do sell coins. If you do want to be a good seller, than educate yourself and set fair prices. Perhaps one day you'll be closer to a professional dealer. There ain't many of those on ebay, truth be told.

I don't know how many Judean or 'Biblicals' you have, but I collect them and have invested in some good research material, such as David Hendin's 'Guide to Biblical Coins'. I have the fifth edition, but there are some earlier ones that are less expensive. I also have James B. Lovette's 'Biblical Related Coins'. It isn't as detailed as Hendin's but is much less expensive to get started if your interested in that particular field of ancient coin collecting. I have some other inexpensive books on ancient coin collecting in general that give you a great overview of these coins from Greek to Byzantine's. One such book that is a great starter is 'Ancient Coin Collecting', I think I paid $13 for a used copy. Anyway carleroo, there is always the internet references as well. I also saw your ebay site and your price is about right for the first go around. Who knows I might bid on it? Regards

I'll have to check that book out carleroo. I just started collecting and am a newbie, although I'm an oldie too! I am planning to travel to Israel this fall and I will be looking for some ancients to bring home as well.

I've been there quite a few times and have purchased some ancient coins, plus other stuff - oil lamps, perfume bottles, small pottery pieces. None of what I bought has exceeded two hundred dollars or so. The reputable places have certificates of authenticity, identifying "Authorized Dealer of Antiquities, License Number ...". However I wouldn't be surprised if there are there the usual amount of fakes and how reputable they actually are, I wouldn't know for sure. I have a number of places where I have shopped and if you like, can share these with you. Also check out the prices here before you buy. I discovered in a couple of cases that the prices there were not necessarily a big bargain.
