<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2407312, member: 26302&quot;]Depends on the quality and also depends on how proud the owner is of it. Like Red Spork says, its a very common coin. Like all &quot;biblical coins&quot;, its only this association that gives them much value. Stay away from slabbed examples, as those are sky high and stupid non-ancient collectors will pay it. A decent example should be found around $500.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to get fancier about it, try to get those with AD dates. &quot;Shekels of Tyre&quot; is what the temple required taxes to be paid in, (to assure quality). However, Tyre stopped making shekels in the 100 BC&#039;s. Rome allowed new shekels of &quot;Tyre&quot; to be struck in Jerusalem afterwards. So kill two birds, get a Shekel of Tyre, but one minted in Jerusalem itself. Just buy one with an equivalent AD date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
