    These are my most recent purchases
    My most recent is always my favorite so these qualify. They may be my last ancient coin purchases of 2016—although not likely!

    Mmm... I love sandy patina on ancient bronze. That's one nice thing about these Holy Land coins... they often come with sweet "desert" patina.

    @Deacon Ray - do you have any Nabatean coins yet?

    Thank you, Doug! Yes, I definitely welcome advice. I can’t find any coins produced during the procuratorial rule of Rufus (12–15 A.D.), Marcellus (36–37 A.D.), or Marullus (37–41 A.D.) I don’t know if any Judaean coins were made during those years.
