    Here are Antipas denominations that I was fortunate to acquire from some favorite dealers. The Full denomination has been in my collection for a year or so but the half and quarter denominations were purchased last week.

    Yes, Erin, I know! The Antipas items are costly. They represent a category of Judaean coins that are desirable more so for their Biblical connection than for their artistic or precious metal content. I think these coins are beautiful, not so much in an aesthetic sense but for all things combined—history, legend, folklore, truth, fact and fiction, everything.
