[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 7562435, member: 74968"]Though this coin is a common Judea Capta type, I still think it is a great coin. Yes, it has fake desert patina but it also has an interesting portrait. The other interesting thing about this coin is whom I bought it from. I purchased this coin from David Hendin the author of Guide to Biblical Coins. The obverse is better than the reverse but it is still possible to see the mourning figure of Judea. You can also see IVDAEA on the left-hand side. I am very happy to add this coin to my collection. I also think it is neat to have his signature on his certificate of authenticity. Please post your Judea Capta types. I would love to see them. Vespasian 69-79 AD, AE As (27.2 mm, 8.05 g.) Obv: Vespasian laureate bust right; IMP CAES VESPASIAN AVG COS VIII PP Rev: Palm tree, arms scattered, Jewess seated in mourning to r.; IVDAEA CAPTA SC, Reference: Hendin 1561, RIC II. 1233. [I]Earthen contrast added.[/I] This lot is accompanied by a photo-authenticity receipt signed by David Hendin, author of [I]Guide to Biblical Coins[/I]. [ATTACH=full]1303973[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
