<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 1808247, member: 57463&quot;]John: &quot;The occasional use of coin-like terms that have been used in some early Bible quotations are always those of translators attempting to relate unfamiliar expressions with words that might be familiar to contemporary readers.&quot; Bressett, page 24.&nbsp; He is quite clear in his knowledge of numismatics, otherwise he would not have been elected president of the ANA or been allowed to work with Eric Newman on a book about the 1804 Dollar.</p><p><br /></p><p>Medoraman: &lt;whack&gt; &lt;whack&gt; &lt;whack&gt; (The sound of a dead horse being flogged. )&nbsp; Meshorer has not written much lately.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if I would say that Hendin is the Talmud to Meshorer&#039;s Torah - or maybe I just did - but it is like the BMC, you know, sort of frozen in time with what was known then.&nbsp; So, if you are that interested, yes, you have Meshorer as a baseline and amend it with the latest Hendin, while in the mean time, participating in the publications of current research.</p><p><br /></p><p>But that is not what this book is, was ever intended to be, is being sold as, or was reviewed as.</p><p><br /></p><p>I went through a &quot;Biblical coins&quot; phase when I was collecting ancients. But I gave them all to my sister and her family because they are Christians and I am not. Right now on my desk, I have <b><i>god is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything</i> by Christopher Hitchens. </b> But my values are not everyone&#039;s, nor do they need to be.&nbsp; So, I review books that <b>other people</b> might find interesting.&nbsp; It is what a professional writer does, just like any other dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
