When someone gives me a phone number I always hand them pen and paper to write it themselves because I never get it right. When I'm in a hurry or slightly stressed I often write down the last number that I heard first.

 

Sorry for hijacking your thread Ray, but it's CoinTalk - it happens!

I always thought this thing was remarkable...

The incredible power of the human mind is truly amazing. If people didn't get in their own way they can accomplish more than they can imagine.

 

It is being offered on ebay- it doesn't actually say it is either an authentic ancient or a replica. Here is a real one for comparison. They are too pricey for me to obtain one.

 

Amazing! I had very little trouble reading that.

 

Greetings Mike—Yes the Ebay coin is definitely a replica in my opinion. Here are images side by side with a real one which sold in the $2500 dollar range. The Ebay one looks as though it could have been produced by a student at one of the museums in Israel. They offer demonstrations where they show and allow visitors to make coins of ancient Judaea.




Also—Here's a great reference site to view real Judaean coins.
