looking for a "biblical" coin

aballein

soo, im trying to get my wife involved in my coin hobby and she had no interest in it until i told her that there were coins out there from the biblical times. She prides herself on being a good christian woman and is REALLY interested in having a coin from time of the bible. Where can i find a dirt cheap biblical coin for my wifes birthday? we are currently in the process of moving into a new home so my funds are pretty much non-existant. Her birthday is coming up soon and i was searching ebay but i just dont trust anyone on there because i know nothing about ancient coins, especially coins without dates. ANY help would be appreciated..ie a good place to buy a cheap biblical coin. My theory is if i can get her into coin collecting then it benefits both of us..i can buy more coins and she can say she has coins from the times of the bible. Thanks in advance for any help or direction that anyone can assist me with.

The cheapest Biblical coin would probably be a "Widow's Mite"

If you don't want one from eBay, I would suggest Civitas Galleries in Wisconsin - Josh from Civitas is a member here.

A "widow's mite" would be a good choice. The bronze prutah of the Judean kingdom and of the Roman procurators has generally been equated with the widow's mite of the Bible. Here is a cheap example.
