    I really thought that I had received my last coin for 2016

    I was surprised and delighted to find this one in the mail today. I wasn't really expecting to receive it until 2017. My coin orders from Israel usually take up to two months for delivery due to the export procedures.

    Nice! That's a great purchase Deacon. I have always liked Judean coins. A prutah of John Hyrcanus is the first on my wish list for 2017.

    This one is especially neat because of its history. Just think that this coin was in circulation during the last days of the second temple period. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Noah,

    There are many great dealers on VCOINS but my favorite is L. Alexander Wolfe in Jerusalem.
