<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2396107, member: 19463&quot;]Lets be careful to recognize that not all Shekels of Tyre are equally desirable to the Biblical interest group.&nbsp; The coins were struck in more than one mint.&nbsp; Jerusalem mint carries a premium.&nbsp; The things were struck over a period of years and are year dated.&nbsp; You might like FDC coins of good style but you may pay more for a Jerusalem mint coin of 30 AD just because someone out there wants a coin that was in Judas&#039; bag of 30.&nbsp; Dates after about 33 were pretty likely not made in time to have Judas&#039; fingerprints on them.&nbsp; Is this crazy?&nbsp; In my opinion paying a premium for common coins of no great style because many non-collectors want them makes little sense.&nbsp; If it were not for the Bible link, how much would you expect to pay for low grade Widow&#039;s Mites?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Got to go now, the Fed Ex truck is in the driveway.&nbsp; That is a good sign.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
