You have a good eye for coin selection in terms of detail and overall appearance.&nbsp; I could comment positively on several of the coins, but I&#039;ll limit it to just two:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. I love that you included the Antiochus VII Helmet/Aphlaston small bronze which recent research has confirmed was produced in Jerusalem, and hence is a biblical coin. (Many still view it as per its older attribution as being from the Ascalon/Ashqelon mint.) This is a type that truly belongs in ancient biblical coin collections.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. I also love the obverse of the Hyrcanus I prutah, Hendin 6171 6th ed., due to the absolute complete inscription. Nice! From the &#039;A&#039; at the top as the 1st line all the way down to the 5th line it&#039;s centered and readable. I spent about 2 years of keeping-an-eye-out for such an example, and only recently found one.&nbsp; Although the type is rightly deemed as &#039;Common&#039;, examples with complete inscriptions are (imo) nothing short of &#039;Rare&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway... again... OUTSTANDING!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
