Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 10/25/2007 12:11 pm I think this one barely circulated if at all before being lost (or put away?) for centuries. I plan on bringing this for slabbing at ICG. This is the nicest detailed Bar Kochba (Hendin 736) I've ever personally seen. Most are worn or poorly struck. The centering is fantastic on this one. You can clearly see the vine leaf ribbing and all tree details. The only this that's a bummer is that most of the letters for "Jerusalem" didn't make it on this planchet. Oh well, I guess I can't have everything. Edited by Prethen 10/25/2007 12:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

When I bought it, it still smelled of the plasticine they'd used to make the mould out of. 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
