Buy of the day - If I'm right!!
« on: January 25, 2010, 07:31:32 pm »
I went coin shopping and keped my eyes peeled for "obscure" Jewish rarites, and found something (Thanks Robert Brenchley :)).
I bought this prutah today (It was attributed as Jannaeus).  I have ID'd it as a Judah Aristobulus 
 
:Judean_daleth: :Judean_waw_7: :Judean_hey_3: :Judean_yad_4:
 :Judean_daleth_2: :Judean_gimel_1: :Judean_nun_2: :Judean_hey_3: :Judean_kaf_1: :Judean_hey_3:
 :Judean_rosh_3: :Judean_beyt_3: :Judean_het_1: :Judean_waw_7: :Judean_lam_1: :Judean_waw_7:
 :Judean_yad_2: :Judean_daleth: :Judean_waw_7: :Judean_hey:
(? :Judean_mah_2: ?)
I want to know if this is the script and the coin attribution are correct.  I'm fairly confident that the coin is Aristobulus, even though I started reading ancient Hebrew in September.  Any comments are welcome.

Nice one! Forgive me if I'm a bit slow responding to anything on the site right now; my computer monitor's died on me.

Online? Where? I bought it in a store, and It has no online catalouge from what I know... Maybe you saw it from the wholesaler?
