<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2366723, member: 19463&quot;]This particular fake was glued to a paper advertising some book on Bible history or Holy Land travel.&nbsp; People who got the ad peeled off the &#039;coin&#039; and threw out the paper part of the ad so they turn up when someone finds one in a drawer.&nbsp; They really look little like the original (example below) which is a cheap item in the ancient market because there are millions of them still in existence.&nbsp; Nicer ones with readable legends (especially the tiny Hebrew on the wheel side) will cost more.&nbsp; Fakes are worthless.&nbsp; If you want more on the subject, hang around the ancient section of Coin Talk.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]483539[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]483543[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]483544[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
