[Jamess22]

Dear Collectors / Dealers

Would anyone have for sale silver shekels that were in circulation in Palestine in 30AD the time of Christ? ...or know where I could by them?

Many thanks

The silver shekel of biblical times is second only to the "Widows Mite" for the number of copies in existence. They are used in enormous quantities by the Evangelical Churches in the US, primarily as a teaching aid in Sunday School and summer camps. Anyone with experience of US based coin forums will know that the Widows Mite comes up for identification on at least a weekly basis and the shekel almost monthly.
