[QUOTE="Rick1350, post: 3977166, member: 109454"]Thanks everyone very much for your input. I bought two coins while in Jerusalem. I was told one was a silver shekel and the other a Roman denarius used to pay taxes. I'll post the two "Certificates of Authenticity" I received form the store when I bought them. I posted them separately to avoid confusion between the two coins. To be honest, I'm extremely embarrassed that I fell for their high pressure sales tactics. These two coins were bought on impulse. That, I'll have to live with and add it as another life lesson. Now, I just want to make sure I didn't buy a couple of fakes. You guys mention David Sear and NGC Ancients. Are these two places good for authentication and if real, providing information about the coin? I've been a US coin collector since I was about 10. I'm looking forward to using this forum to talk about US coins sharing a few of my other coins. Thanks again guys. Rick [ATTACH]1046803[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1046804[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
