<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2211945, member: 42773&quot;]There is a large variety of ancient coins you can buy in high grades at the $20-$50 range. These include...</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Coins of the Constantinian Dynasty</p><p>2. Coins of the Valentinian Dynasty</p><p>3. Coins of the Theodosian Dynasty</p><p>4. Coins of various provincial cities that were prolific minters, ie. Nikopolis ad Istrum and Marcianopolis, to mention a couple.</p><p>5. Various common (but very attractive and interesting) Greek coins. Look at the issues of Pontos/Amisos and Pergamon, for starters, along with the Macedonian issues of Phillip II and Alexander the Great.</p><p>6. Numerous Eastern/Indian issues - I will defer to my colleagues better versed in these for their suggestions.</p><p><br /></p><p>The issue with collecting Biblical coins is one of definition: what exactly does that mean to you? If a certain ruler or city is mentioned in the Bible, does the coinage of that city or ruler make it Biblical? The only coins specifically mentioned in the Bible (to my knowledge) are the widow&#039;s mite, tribute penny, and thirty pieces of silver. Those would make for a very small (and expensive) collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
