<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 2527949, member: 51347&quot;]An observation of mine:&nbsp; Many folks may be introduced to &quot;ancient&quot; coins through Judaean issues which always seem so crude, both in appearance as well as condition.&nbsp; Those people will &quot;ooh&quot; and &quot;ahh&quot; over the 2000 year old coins, and be amazed it is from the Biblical Land.&nbsp; In their minds they will place-mark that quality and and look of the coins against the coins that they use everyday in their lives.&nbsp; &quot;AH!&quot;&nbsp; They think:&nbsp; That justifies the 2000 years difference in coin quality and condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, it would also be cool to place contemporary ancient coinage from areas near-to or adjacent to the Biblical Lands... just as comparison to the coinage of the world around this area of the world.&nbsp; There has been some incredibly gorgeous coinage made for several hundred years BEFORE Judaean coins, as well as gorgeous coins contemporary to that time period.&nbsp; I many cases, the ancient world made coins MUCH more gorgeous than even the coins manufactured today. </p><p><br /></p><p>It would be interesting to see how folks would place-mark their contemporary coins in their minds vs. Judaean vs. other Ancients during that same time period.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
