The Brody Family Collection; Purchased privately from D. Hendin, August 1988.
When the collector purchased this coin from D. Hendin in 1988, he was told that it was perhaps the finest known. The illustrated example in the current edition of Hendin's Guide to Biblical Coins is finer, but this is still quite an outstanding example.
