Thanks for the info

I could help you if I had some pictures to look at.

Be sure to ask this question on the darkside forum as well.

I don't know that there is one standard catalogue for biblical coins-- oftentimes, the value is simply what a coin will bring at auction. Still, as far as biblical coins, values can range from around $7 (for Judean "Widow's Mites") to several hundered dollars (as in the case of silver Jewish Shekels). But
as was mentioned before, pictures can go a long way as far as someone here being able to quote a
rough value.

I don't know if she has any way to get me pictures but I can find out, if nothing else I could maybe get a good enough description for you to go on ...hopefully! I will get back to you on that. Thanks a ton

Try "Guide to Biblical Coins, Fourth Edition" by David Hendin. Lots of photos, drawings, and the author's value estimates for most of the coins.
