<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carl Wilmont, post: 8233123, member: 75496&quot;][USER=128358]@Robichari[/USER], my first choice would be one of the two on the bottom row.&nbsp; Bottom right has a better observe, but I prefer the bottom left one because the date is clearer on it than the others.&nbsp; I <i>think</i> it is the same date as the one on my example in the post above, L-ΛΓ, flanking the palm branch (year 33, 29/30 AD).&nbsp; Based upon the weight you cited, it is a full denomination coin vs the half denomination coin that I posted.&nbsp;&nbsp; I believe the gamma looks a little like a &quot;C&quot; because the staff of the last P in the surrounding reverse legend, HPωΔOY TE-TPAPXOY, is extending to the bottom of it.&nbsp; (You can see the first &quot;OY&quot; in this inscription on the reverse of the bottom right coin.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s another Herod Antipas coin of mine, a quarter denomination example which has a more similar patina to your coins.&nbsp; It has complete legends, although the letters are somewhat hard to read.&nbsp; The reverse inscription begins at about 2 o&#039;clock</p><p>vs at 7 o&#039;clock on your coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1447726[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>JUDAEA, Herodians. <i>Herod III Antipas. </i>4 BC-39 AD.
