David Hendin Article in the Celator
« on: August 12, 2017, 02:44:13 pm »
Does anyone know which issue of The Celator presented the David Hendin (?) article
about a remarkable Judaean Zuz struck over a Vespasian Judaea Capta denarius?

I am looking for the original sale/auction reference source for the coin, and had thought
it was someone like H J Berk, who regularly has these kind of things, but am now not so
sure. I had hoped that it may have been mentioned in the article somewhere (see the
below image of the item in question). I keep searching, but keep hitting dead-ends.

Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide.

There a September 2010 article by Thomas Palmer that you might be referring to (?): https://community.vcoins.com/celator-vol-24-no-9/

The coin whose image you posted above was first published by Harlan Berk in 1992 (Celator 6:2) in an article entitled "Remains to be Seen: Freedom Strikes Defeat." This article is followed by one on the same coin by David Hendin in his "Coins of the Bible" section, entitled "Bar Kochba coin reveals historic tales." See both articles at https://community.vcoins.com/celator-vol-06-no-02/

Steven Gerson published another different Bar-Kokhba coin overstruk on a Judaea Capta coin in INR 2 (2006) in his paper "A Newly Discovered Bar Kokhba Small Silver Overstruck on a Judea Capta Denar."

Thanks Aarmale,
I had read Robert's other message "The Celator - Index", . . .
(https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=112364.0)
and found the article you indicated, was about to reply when my rotten
computer froze, crashed, and I had to do a hard restart.
You beat me to it!
In any case, I was about to say about as much as you did. Thank you!
I appreciated your kind efforts.
