While most of the Judaea Capta coins are fairly easy to get, I've wanted a Judaea Devicta coin for a very long time.  They are fairly rare and are usually found as plated contemporary imitations.  I finally found a legitimate solid example in the US, but the seller wouldn't ship to me (even though I've purchased from him in the past!)

Despite the terrible seller's pictures, I asked David if he would act as a middle man for me, which he graciously did. It arrived today!  Much better in hand, with wonderful iridescent toning in areas.  I can cross one of my white whales off the list thanks to David.

As always, thanks for looking!

A non-plated IVDAEA DEVICTA! Congratulations on a great find! And nice to hear of international cooperation among collectors in the arrangement of shipping.

That's definitely on my list of coins I'd love to add to my "captives" collection at some point. (Whereas the IVDAEA RECEPTA remains firmly in the territory of coins I don't even fantasize about owning. [LINK])
