One of the most PERFECT coins ever to come on the market, with nearly complete inscription and a BOLD, CLEAR strike. The weight range for the coins of Herod Antipas are erratic and the quarter denomination ranges from the 2's to the 5's in grams, with the 3's and 4's being the norm. This coin is THICK and the heaviest one we have ever encountered, at the very upper end of the range.
See here, the last nice coin to come in the market in 2023, fetched over $1,000 after fees and not as complete as this coin.
