Message:: [QUOTE="Deacon Ray, post: 3459142, member: 81896"]I'd like to assist you any way I can, John [USER=92092]@John Skelton[/USER]. Your interest in Biblical coins has rekindled mine, in fact I've been reviewing my collection this afternoon and trying to decide which direction I would like to head next. I use the Hendin numbers as a guide. There are a few of us here on the Ancients Forum, who tend to specialize in the coins of Judaea and the empires that occupied the Holy Land. I've been encouraged and inspired by many of the awesome contributors to this forum—the Biblical skeptics included. I originally became fascinated with the ancient coins of Jerusalem as a result of shopping for Holy Relics. (I'll have to show some images of some of the items I've acquired). True, I was looking for items that could have been touched by Jesus. What Mr. Smith [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] said about the likelihood of acquiring an actual coin that was touched by Jesus is unlikely—it's the possibility of owning a coin that may have been used by one of the first Christians which is an amazing thought. If you decide to pursue your interest, please post plenty of images of your acquisitions![/QUOTE]
