Not a snack but cheap lunch.

Alegandron,

There have only ever been a few discovered.

David Hendin wrote an article about it in 1992. The bronze shekel was actually found in Jerusalem. At that time, there was only one known to have been found. That one, I believe had KP on it, indicating that it had been struck in Jerusalem. None of these coins have any trace of silver on them and have original patinas on them. So, the weren't fourees.

I'm really hoping that David revisits the subject again. I'd really like to hear if any more have been discovered.

Yeah, I think it's a total boss and it's one of my faves.

That is amazing cool! Congrats!

 

I have had look at a few examples in archives, and for the most the back line of that chair can be very irregular, the whole chair for that matter. I would say there would be a lot of reverse dies in play, I found about 5 examples of offset circles but thinking about the reason for it come to the conclusion that the die engraver could be trying to give the impression of arm rest under elbow, only a theory here is one of the irregular back of chairs I found. https://www.acsearch.info/media/images/archive/83/2419/2472251.m.jpg

 

Another coin I could place in the cheap lunch category is this Tiberius as Caesar Altar of Lugdunum, bought this for $78 AUD probably got it cheap because of the green deposits and overall grubby look, but after a few months of soaking looks a bit better, 12-14 AD, 28mm, 12gm, RIC 245. First pick before cleaning. Two below after.
