On another forum there is a Secret Santa group that exchanges coins for Saturnalia or Christmas. This is the coin I received this year. I was thrilled to find this 8 Prutot piece of Herod I.

This is my first coin with biblical connections and my first Judean coin. I was very surprised when I researched the prices of these coins.

This will make an excellent addition to my historical figures collection.

That is a special gift. Have you considered freeing it from its plastic prison or willl you keep it in the slab?

Thanks to all for the kind words.
@Spence I have considered cracking open the plastic tomb but I will leave it as is out of respect for the gift giver who collects many slabs. This has not changed my mind on slabs however. I still think slabbing coins is silly.
