Just bumped into this thread...... @ernstk......I'm a Sasanian collector.....And would like to see your book...Can you give me a link?
If ErnstK's book exists, I doubt it's in English or Spanish or any other language that most people on this forum are able to read.
LOOOOOOOL you just shoot on your feet man! You saw that coin in slab as a European coin?????? OMG that is an Islamic Abbasid coin!!! This clearly proves you know nothing about coins. You cant even differentiate between Islamic and European coins LOL
My book is in Persian. Only serious Persian collectors can access and read the book. I don't need to prove you or anyone else here. The guys who should know who I am they know me well and that is good enough for me
so far it's very well shown who knows coins most me or insider who cant differentiate what a European and Islamic coins look LOL
I guessed that your book is in Persian; hence my comment. I figured that that language fits all your comments the best.
Nothing to do with racism (Persians aren't a race, as you know), or even Islamophobia, and everything to do with the substance of your comments. You've made your religious beliefs pretty clear, and it's obvious that English isn't your native language, and once you said that you wrote a book on Sassanian coins, Persian became the most likely language choice. Just as most books on Anglo-Saxon coins are written in English.
There is no one as much as me to know Sasanian. I am up for competition here. Whoever claims to know more than me, I can send you a piece of pahlavi with an error and let's see you can tell me which character has error?
Yes I am expert in Sasanian, Islamic, Umayyad and abbasid coins no one in this forum can know these area more than me I am up for challenge in these areas.
This forum isn't intended as a "who knows more" competition. It's primarily intended for people to help each other answer questions they might have about ancient coins, and to show their own coins.
I think that it should be clear that Ernstk is trying to provoke responses with his/her (deliberate?) misinterpretation of other people's posts. This is altogether beside making claims related to authoring a book which he/she refuses to corroborate. Please don't feed the trolls. I too think that the thread should be locked.
I am not provoking anyone. I just answer to posts addressing me directly. You can scroll up and see who started to address my comments today which made me answer him
I agree, tell that to Insider. He is the one started it today I had no intention to start any argument here.

I was concentrating on the planchet voids and entirely missed the Arabic writing. ernstk, posted: "My book is in Persian. Only serious Persian collectors can access and read the book." Half of my family is middle-eastern. they can read Persian. WHAT IS THE NAME OF YOUR BOOK? Thank you in advance.
Curtisimo, posted: "This thread is like watching one of your children grow into a sociopath." View attachment 1174977 [/QUOTE] I disagree. There is plenty of good information in this thread. Additionally, Ernest is going to reveal the name of the book he wrote. I'm sure it is already in the British Museum and ANS Numismatic Libraries so some of us will have access to that rarity. Besides, would you rather be reading back-and-forth opinions every few minutes here on CT or looking for anything posted in the last ten hours by anyone on the NGC forum. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
