<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3458842, member: 19463&quot;]The Hendin book is easily available used BUT only in the older editions.&nbsp; Yes, the latest one is far better but I will not be buying it because my interest in &#039;Biblical&#039; coins just is not that strong.&nbsp; I respect Deacon Ray in so many ways but that does not include what you would call a great overlap in our coins of preference.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I get a kick out of so many people that value coins from the time of Christ as if Jesus&#039; fingerprints were on the coins.&nbsp; The way I read the Bible, Jesus went out of his way to avoid money.&nbsp; His Temple Tax was paid for him by Peter using a coin found in a fish.&nbsp; He asked to be showed a Tribute Penny and pointed out the coins (mites) of the widow from a distance.&nbsp; Of the historical figures we might fantasize handled our coins, Jesus would not be the likely winner.&nbsp; I&#039;d go for Vespasian.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t know the story about him that makes us think he liked coins, look it up.&nbsp; </p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecunia_non_olet" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecunia_non_olet" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecunia_non_olet</a></p><p>The preceding&nbsp; was brought to you straight from the <i>t r e n c h e s</i> (slit trenches to be more specific). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie93" alt=":troll:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.duffelblog.com/2016/06/soldiers-authorized-use-slit-trench-identify/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.duffelblog.com/2016/06/soldiers-authorized-use-slit-trench-identify/" rel="nofollow">https://www.duffelblog.com/2016/06/soldiers-authorized-use-slit-trench-identify/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
