I just looked this coin up in HGC, and #240 is indeed a 1/16th Shekel of the same type, but the 1/16th Shekels are recorded at around 0.8g, or...
I didn't want it, I just thought it was a really good buy. I was busy adding coins to other collections.
I already opened mine, close enough. Has everyone on the list received their gifts?
Gil, I had this coin on my watch list for a while because it was a damn good price for the amount of detail you get on it. An excellent choice in...
Nice coin! Hey - every collector has a few doubles.

Much better! Thanks.
You know, finding decent examples of those is not easy. They have a particular style that is uniquely different from earlier campgates, but as you...
Maybe large pics of individual coins? - rather than a composite...
You would think these coins would be more popular with collectors, especially since they can be had in high grades for very little scratch. But...
I see some decent coins in there, but can you post much bigger pics? I enjoy attributing coins, but not when I have to strain my eyes for the...
