Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 11/28/2018 05:26 am @97spyder, first welcome to CCF. Second, it looks like you have a modern reproduction (i.e. a fake) of a silver Shekel from ancient Israel. Here is a link to an example of the actual coin for comparison: https://www.ebay.com/itm/JEWISH-BAR...222469997532 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 11/28/2018 7:25 pm It's a well documented fake, in the wrong metal, of a silver sela of the Bar Kochba Revolt. Here's another of the ilk: http://goccf.com/t/330402 Quote: I found this coin while I was digging in my back yard in Missouri about 65 years ago. Non-silver fakes of these go back a century...see the note in the description of this fake below. Edited by Kamnaskires 11/28/2018 7:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
