While this is a relatively common die pairing, nevertheless the number of available specimens of even a type coin on the market at any one time is limited. Once this advanced collection is dispersed, opportunities will be felt to have been missed. Certainly one of the strengths of the Levin Collection is its substantial depth within the coinage of the Bar Kokhba War. To the cataloguer's knowledge, there are only four collections by Mildenberg number in existence today which are as complete as this present one, now being offered.
Estimated Value $400 - 500.
