    Can anyone identify this coin. I think it is from te first Jewish Revolt and I picked it up for about $40.

    It is hard to get a decent picture of because the color is so critical

    That type is best known as "Hendin 1360". It is a Judean or Judaean prutah, (not Judian). See my example below.
