Lovely collection

My most recent addition, an AE20 of Herod IV Philip, minted at Panias (Caesarea Philippi) in 8/9 AD.  Note the star countermark on the bust.  This designates it as Hendin's sub-variety "b".

My latest addition....

I was thrilled to acquire this one at what I felt was an absolute bargain price, especially given the almost full obverse legends, especially his name!

I'll get an image uploaded to my gallery shortly.
