How can I identify an "ancient" coin I purchased in Israel?

Bought this coin for 20 bucks from an Arab at base of City of David. I know that the people dig up the area, and sell these coins. Seller claimed it was a Roman coin, 2000 years old. Who knows? How can I determine what this is? I can photograph and post it on a web page, if that helps.

Post some pictures of the font and back of the coin. Include written text of any markings or inscriptions you can make out.

Is hizbollah not paying back israel in the same coin?

Kidnappings and targetted murders as revenge and moreso as preemptive measures and on presumptions were hitherto seen part of israeli methodology while tactical slackness an Arab one.Sovereignty of muslims nations has been outraged by America and Israel and for that matter the cirumstances and posturings of the two countries is making muslim nations threatened without application of mind.Who has given them the authority to decide the fate and security and what is propriety for the muslim nations.Truth is always same.
"Every time anyone says that Israel is our only friend in the Middle East, I can't help but think that before Israel, we had no enemies in the Middle East..."

--John Sheehan, S. J.--

What 'targeted murders?' All we have seen from the Palestinian terrorists is random violence.

Think of how many Palestinians would die if Israel paid them back in 'the same coin.'

How to get Foreign Rolls of Coins.?

I am looking to get foreign (Non-US) coins. not your typical "collector" ones as you can find on the Canadian Mint, US mint and the UK / Australian Mints. But mint fresh rolls of uncirculated coins from Japan, Russia, Thailand, China, Mexico, Brazil, Israel, ect.. ect..

And please dont tell me ebay. Ebay has only US and Canadian and a rare popup of other coins..

Or to tell me to go to the countries! -

try a currency exchanges you change U.S. money into what ever country you are looking for.


Why does the United States continue to support Israel?

These are the same people that control the monetary system of the United States ( Federal Reserves ). Why don't you guys ask yourselves, why are we in such a deficit when we(Congress) supposedly have the power to coin money? This is a fabrication that has been told to the American people. These people ( Rothschilds and the Erlangers who are his relatives) have been known to fund both sides during a war like they did the civil war.
You call muslims terrorist when in actuality, the true terrorists are in this country. I'm refering to the U.S. government. Why would the United States government supress the cure for AIDS (Tetrasil, patent # 5676977). That by itself is one of the biggest terrorist acts against humanity. This disease affects people from all walks of life. Not to mention Robert Gallo the guy that created the disease in the first place. (Ephesians 6:12)

Its just like the mother-baby relationship between the American Gov, and the Zionist Gov. in Israel....its never established based on mutual intrests, its always been that way, Israelies allways depends on US Gov, and the American People has to pay it in Dollars to them....Cash to the son of Zion!!!
