<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Margolis, post: 2883227, member: 88401&quot;]Hi Deacon Ray, Your displays look great. Whenever you post them I always seem to have a question for you as a resident Judaean expert. This coin is on ebay and by a notorious fake seller. It looks fake to me, the palm looks very spindly &amp; thin. It does not openly say it is either an authentic ancient or a replica. He has a turtle stat[ATTACH=full]691432[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]691431[/ATTACH] er also he is selling for pretty cheap for an authentic one and likewise it is not labeled either way. I have never seen a Bar Kochba coin for this little money(140) and so I am figuring it is fake. I do take notice of these since it really is the only coin I am interested in but they are so very pricey. What do you think? His description is actually an html link to a real one at coinarchives that sold for $950. &quot;Judaea, The Bar Kokhba War (132-135 CE). AE 19; Judaea, The Bar Kokhba War (132-135 CE); 132-133 CE, AE 19, Meshorer-147, Hendin-1380a. Obv: &quot;Elezar the priest&quot; across field with seven-branched palm tree with two bunches of dates. Rx: &quot;Year one of the redemption of Israel&quot; Bunch of grapes with branch and small leaf.&quot;</p><p>($950) Here is the photo of the real one linked to:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]691433[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
