£3 on ebay. Not bad, but its been cleaned to the metal...ill try and tone it before passing it on. Could make it a job lot with my IVDAEA CAPTA and perhaps a Vespasian (Coinage used before, coinage used during, coinage issued in commemoration).

Not bad--it's near impossible to find pristine examples of Judaean coinage of the period. My best luck on ebay, in terms of quality and provenance, in Judaean coins was buying them directly from David Hendin. Hendin is THE authority on ancient coinage from the Levant, and is the author of the authoritative references on these coins and more. His ebay seller name is "amphoracoins" and buying from him is a very safe bet in terms of authenticity and value--Mr. Hendin has NEVER overcharged me on any purchase, and has even volunteered a discount on one occasion in order to make the sale..
