<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24661312, member: 26430&quot;]Great coin! I was actually looking up the specific question you ask about -- when did Hendin discuss the &quot;walls of Jerusalem&quot; hypothesis. I believe that was only in the 3rd and 4th editions of <i>Guide to Biblical Coins</i> (it&#039;s not in the 2nd or 5th). Originally, I believe that came from his article in <i>The Celator </i>(June 1998): <a href="https://social.vcoins.com/files/file/133-vol-12-no-06-june-1998/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://social.vcoins.com/files/file/133-vol-12-no-06-june-1998/" rel="nofollow">https://social.vcoins.com/files/file/133-vol-12-no-06-june-1998/</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>There he acknowledges there that it&#039;s somewhat speculative, but clearly at the time he thought it worth writing the article about. (The title has a question mark at the end, and uses phrases like &quot;<i>I think that there is a possibility</i> that these are the walls of the city of Jerusalem...&quot; &amp; &quot;these connections <i>suggest</i> that it is quite <i>plausible</i>.&quot; My italics.)</p><p><br /></p><p>He did include that in his GBC, but pulled it from later editions, so he may have changed his mind. That doesn&#039;t mean others can&#039;t argue it (some dealers clearly like the explanation), but I&#039;m not sure if there&#039;s any new evidence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
