<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3838983, member: 97383"]Over the weekend I found two more "junk box" finds bought decades ago pictured below, probably $5.00 each <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie65" alt=":meh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The 1st one looks like it could be genuine Judaean coin.

The 2nd coin is an obvious cast fake of a Nero denarius.

[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3838983, member: 97383"]Over the weekend I found two more "junk box" finds bought decades ago pictured below, probably $5.00 each :meh:. The 1st one looks like it could be genuine Judaean coin. I've got no reference books on Judaean bronze coins so hopefully a [B]CT[/B] member can pin it down :). The 2nd coin is an obvious cast fake of a Nero denarius. If you look at the reverse side photo you can see a trace of the casting seam around the 10:00 o'clock position :pics:.
