Mo! Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I'm just curious as to know if anyone has ever seen anything like this. http://cgi.ebay.com/dont-know-what-is-it-F...=item3efea2876f I'm not interested in buying it, just really curious. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saor Alba Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 It is a widow's mite from the Bible references to it, looks to be Alexander Janneaus era (103 BC to 76 BC). It appears to be the real thing, and the price - subjective but not out of line for a fairly common item from that part of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any money in Paypal currently, and I'm not an avid collector, however I do like neat coins to show my friends. Knowing that, do I buy or is there similar coins with a lower price redily available? I really just want a yes or no to go by, since I'm not that educated in ancient coins.

Saor Alba Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Look on Vcoins.com, more reputable sellers and more selection. I avoid fleaBay like the plague these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiho Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Look on Vcoins.com, more reputable sellers and more selection. I avoid fleaBay like the plague these days. I agree that VCoins would be a better place to buy a nice Widows Mite than eBay. Look around a find a nice one that you really like as they are all slightly different.
