<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stevearino, post: 2372508, member: 74571&quot;]So, sitting in worship today, and the Gospel lesson had Mary, Lazarus&#039; sister, using &quot;300 denarii&quot; worth of perfume of pure nard on Jesus&#039; feet.&nbsp; Here&#039;s my question:</p><p><br /></p><p>Do ancient coins with biblical references (widow&#039;s mite, Judean denarius, a &quot;piece of silver&quot;...think 30 pieces that Judas received) command a premium that is more dependent on the biblical reference than rarity alone would justify?</p><p><br /></p><p>Almost 40 years ago I bought a few ancients, which must now be buried in my &quot;stuff&quot; because I haven&#039;t seen them for several years, but I remember enjoying the fact that I had one of Constantine&#039;s, in that he was responsible for legitimizing the Christian religion.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, do the above referenced coins sell for more because of demand than their rarity warrants?&nbsp; Just wondering if I want to rekindle some interest in acquiring some of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks, in advance,</p><p><br /></p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
