<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prethen, post: 26795, member: 1756&quot;]I&#039;ve volunteered to help put together an ancient Jewish coin display at my temple.&nbsp; I will have to put up some of the funds and the temple will probably help.&nbsp; I&#039;m hoping the display will cost less than $500, but with some extra funding help from the temple, maybe it could go up to $1000.&nbsp; I envision getting a nice book (which would be opened to an appropriate page within the display) and several ancient coins.&nbsp; I&#039;m hoping to get coins in the VF+ range so that the detail could be fairly evident.&nbsp; The coins should provide historic markers going back as far as possible in Jewish heritage which is over 3000 years.&nbsp; This could include ancient coins that could be related in some very relevant way to where Jewish society arose and moved.&nbsp; What book or books would you recommend for this type of display/collection?</p><p><br /></p><p>I would love to get advice as to which coins in particular I should look at acquiring (please note the approximate years and condition I should look for and about how much I should expect to pay).&nbsp; I am primarily a U.S. coin collector and know next to nothing about collecting ancients.&nbsp; When buying U.S. coins I have some idea how to get a decent coin for the money and yet have a decent resale value back to a dealer.&nbsp; I have no idea how this is done (or, if it&#039;s even done) in the world of ancient coin collecting.&nbsp; If possible, I don&#039;t want to pay the top end of &quot;retail&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help would be hugely appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
