Sap Moderator Australia 16873 Posts	Posted 08/13/2012 6:14 pm Hello and welcome. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but alas, I have to tell you that this is not a genuine coin. It's a modern replica of an ancient coin, specifically a "Widow's Mite", a coin from ancient Judaea made famous by a story told by Jesus in the bible. We've seen them on the forum numerous times, such as here, because they're machine-struck mass-produced replicas. You can buy them in bulk from religious supplies stores; for example, here's a bag of 10 of them for $5. It's kind of sad, because genuine Widow's Mites aren't all that expensive; you can buy one genuine widow's mite for the price you'd have to pay for one or two bags of replicas. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
notorioushoot New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/13/2012 6:24 pm I actually just looked way back in the forums and found this! Thank you so much for helping me out. Honestly, I don't even care about the price. The story behind it is awesome, and I just found this on the ground. I'm guessing the replicas are used for teaching children the story. I look forward to using this forum more! :) Report this Post to the Staff
