[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4981582, member: 110226"]Thank you, Carl. Those are very interesting and nice examples. This is an area that I am developing an interest in, and hope to be able to acquire additional coinage of that period, although I can say with almost absolute certainty that the year two shekel will be the one and only of this type for me, given the astronomical prices that they command these days. That year two shekel came to me many years ago (late 80s as I recall) through Ponterio and Associates of San Diego, during one of their auctions. Normally Rick dealt with world and especially Mexican coinage, but every now and then he had a page or two devoted to ancients.
