<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andy, post: 27005, member: 645&quot;]Prethen, I would suggest that you go to <a href="http://www.jerusalemcoins.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.jerusalemcoins.com" rel="nofollow">www.jerusalemcoins.com</a>. Once there you can get a&nbsp; broad but quick visual coin history of the coins you seek. Then I would suggest that you go to that websites links section and click on The Hankbook of Biblical Numismatics. This website has one of the best index&#039;s that I ever seen and will make you an instant expert if you give the time to read any section.Glance at it first for reference and go back to it when you want to make your coin picks for information. After that I suggest you go back to the link section and go to Dave Garstangs home page. He has a time line of Jewish Holidays and events and what coins were circulated then. After that you should have a good idea on what type of collection you want and now for prices, <a href="http://www.commem.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.commem.com" rel="nofollow">www.commem.com</a> has lower grade coins for very affordable prices. You can find&nbsp; ancient Judean coins there from 20 to 50 dollars if I remember correctly. <a href="http://www.coin" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coin" rel="nofollow">www.coin</a> has what can be considered a better selection of coins for higher but yet very affordable prices. Just click on ancient coins when you get there. <a href="http://www.stacks.com/categories" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.stacks.com/categories" rel="nofollow">www.stacks.com/categories</a> has had my eye but I myself did not have the time to research them but you may get an idea of how the coins could go for more money based upon grade. Another website you should check out is <a href="http://www.coinsofisrael.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinsofisrael.com" rel="nofollow">www.coinsofisrael.com</a> where if I remember correctly was a good site for coins and prices. Just type in Judean. If you wish to search other website dealers then go to <a href="http://www.coinresource.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinresource.com" rel="nofollow">www.coinresource.com</a> and click on ancient coins. You will then have a list of dealers to explore. I would state that you should stay away from e-bay for there are alot of phony ancient coins hammered from places outside of Israel in the middle east that are sold as the real thing. Same thing with the Uzi , I believe China is the leading exporter now. Anyway hope you have fun with the search. I always found the hunt to be more fun then the conquest. Keep in touch.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
