<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2255055, member: 19463&quot;]There is a definite pecking order to these.&nbsp; The more significantly the issuer appears in the Bible, the more demand there is for a coin of his.&nbsp; If we consider both Old and New Testaments (not all do) the top place goes to Pontius Pilate whose coins are much more popular than some other random Procurator.&nbsp; Of course his name does not appear on his coins but the marketplace treats them as special due to the vast number of Christians who know the name.&nbsp; All mites carry some premium over similarly scrappy bits of ugliness from other regions.&nbsp; Really nice looking ones definitely should be premium.&nbsp; There are tons of them that are worth only packaging with a card telling the story of the Widow&#039;s mite and selling to tourists. </p><p><br /></p><p>Pontius Pilate has two major types of which I only have one. How I got it is another story but I won&#039;t be paying retail for the other type either.&nbsp; Nicer ones certainly exist but not in my price bracket.</p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=pontius+pilate&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;company=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=pontius+pilate&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;company=" rel="nofollow">http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=pontius+pilate&amp;category=1-2&amp;en=1&amp;de=1&amp;fr=1&amp;it=1&amp;es=1&amp;ot=1&amp;images=1&amp;currency=usd&amp;thesaurus=1&amp;order=0&amp;company=</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]446784[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
