    US only, shipping is $3 for USPS first class in a bubble mailer with tracking. Priority mail, other carriers, etc. can be done at cost. I've posted prices below but feel free to make offers as well and I'm certainly open to trades for Roman Republican bronze or silver. Also, if there's a particular Roman Imperial or Greek coin I've posted before that you're interested in, PM me and we might be able to work something out.

    Hasmoneian Kingdom of Judaea, John Hyrcanus I AE Prutah. 135-104 BC. Obverse: 'A' monogram, YHO(HH)NN("Yehochanan") H("the") KHN("Priest") H("the") GDL("high") W("and") (HH)BR("Council") H("the") YHWDYM("Jews") Paleo-hebrew within wreath. Reverse: Double cornucopia adorned with ribbons, pomegranate between horns, border of dots. Jerusalem mint. Hendin 1131. Meshorer TJC A

    A very sharp example of a type with a nice big Paleo-Hebrew legend. $75

    Demetrius I Soter 162 - 150 B.C.; AE Serrate. Ake-Ptolemais mint. Obv: Young male head r. wearing taenia, dotted border. Rev:BAΣIΛEΩΣ ΔHMHTPIOY, veiled local deity thought to be Demeter-Atargatis standing facing, holding long torch or sceptre. Hoover 838; SC 1679; BMC 28; Houghton 423.
    A nice budget example of a Seleucid serrate or "bottlecap" type. This is the scarcer Demetrius version of this type which was minted under both Antiochus IV and Demetrius I. $7

    Mysia, Kyzicus, AR hemiobol, (0.4g) 480-450 BC. Obv: Forepart of running boar left, tunny fish behind upward. Rev: Head of roaring lion left within incuse square. Sear 3850.
    A nice example of a tiny little hemiobol. Some crystallization(As is common with these tiny silver coins). Purchased from Aegean Numismatics and come with his ticket $40

    agrippa-combined.JPG
    Agrippa, Æ As.(9.72g, 28mm) Struck under Caligula, 37-41 AD. Obverse: M AGRIPPA L F COS III. Head of Agrippa left wearing rostral crown. Reverse: S C. Neptune standing facing, head left, naked except for cloak draped behind him & over both arms, holding small dolphin in right hand & vertical trident in left. RIC 58; Cohen 3.
    A nice budget example of a fairly popular restitution issue struck under Caligula $20

    JUDAEA, Aelia Capitolina (Jerusalem). Hadrian, with Antoninus Pius as Caesar. 138 AD. Æ20 (9.9g). Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Hadrian right / Head of Antoninus right. Meshorer, Aelia 9; Rosenberger 9.
    A VERY interesting type from Aelia Capitolina, also known as Jerusalem, after the Bar Kochba rebellion was put down and Christians and Jews were expelled from the city. Very interesting history here. This coin was found in an uncleaned lot and could potentially use a bit more cleaning but is not a bad budget example for the price considering this example sold just a few months ago for 55 GBP(~$85) + juice, this example sold in 2005 for 190 Euro(~$227) + juice, and this one sold in 2010 for $3100 + juice! $50

    A nice example with a sharp bust. Struck on a thin, somewhat ragged flan, but price reflects this. $15
