A BEAUTIFUL, SHARP Judaea Capta Coin. We have seen several of these over the years with similar nice sharpness (although rare compared to worn specimens), but as most coins from Caesarea the metal is of poorer quality. This coin is EXCEPTIONAL in that it is wonderfully clear, while the metal is uncorroded and of high quality!
