    Had a fun day this week - took my parents to an antique mall for a Friday road trip, then on the way back had a LCS let me know I should stop by to pick up some foreign silver from their melt bucket.

    I thought the highlight of my trip was a couple Mexico 100 Pesos Doubled Dies - but after taking a closer look at this particular coin that was in the group, I think I have to amend that thought.

    It's a shame it wasn't handled better - but still a very worthy and cool rescue from the melt bucket.

    Star of Bethlehem coin~2.jpg

    I could post this in the ancients forum but I'm more comfortable here.

    "Star of Bethlehem Coin"

    Some scholars believe this coin of Antioch, which was minted before AD 15, is a commemorative of the Bethlehem star. Ancient astrologers believed the Ram Aries in the zodiac represented Judea.

    The three "Magi" from the east could very well have passed through Antioch on their way to Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Maybe they told of the star? Interesting to think about anyway. At any rate, Antioch was an early center of Christianity.

    NGC graded VF.
    Zeus on the obverse and ram with star on the reverse.
    I made an offer and it was accepted. :happy:
