I really love Hendin, I even wrote him fanmail once. I hope I can get to a show and shake his hand and thank him for all the work he has done.
Hearing David talk about coins he had seen for sale in small Arab shops, makes me want to buy some of the coins I've been getting sent by some gentleman in my messages
I've had the pleasure of having some nice conversations with David back in the day when I was more into Biblical / Jewish coinage and going to shows; this is a great throwback. He is so engaging and entertaining. Very enjoyable; looking forward to more of the interview! (btw, you guys reacting is hilarious).

Great Podcast and interview of David. I would like to ask for a favor, I purchased Alexander the Great Tetradrachm last year, but I can't identify this coin very well. Could you please help me to identify it?
Hey Josh, did Alexander not already have the idea of being the son of Zeus after his mother told him the story of getting struck by lightning on the day of his conception?
