I would echo Collect89's sentiments as I roll up on my 10,000th post here.
I heard about that. Sounds like a great way to drive all of your customers away and go bankrupt. Imagine if the US mint started striking old US...
There is an outlet store nearby, so she is only buying the $300 ones. She had "brought up" the idea of buying French purses..........yeah that one...
For once, the US collectors on CT are where we have been for years, slowly trolling through "Recent threads" to see if one might actually pertain...
Considering my coin bills, I am not going to argue about a $300 purse. You have to pick your battles. :)
Well Shapur I and II are completely different coins really. If you get used to Sassanid you would never mistake them. I break down Sassanid coins...
Btw, a shout out to Arditirion, (Bill). He is the one that turned me on to that title. I never would have found it otherwise. He is the one that...
As do I Raymond. To be fair to Bill and I, until a couple of days ago there were few ancient collectors active here. We constantly were...
Don't waste your time on the Michiner title. I own every book he put out on Central Asian numismatics, and don't really use them. The ONE book...
True. Most wives know I am sure, they are simply looking the other way for the moment. :) At least we aren't out wasting our money on gambling,...
I find the Persian/Central Asian series to be a perfect fit with Roman and Greek. I love the traditional artistry of Greek, the rugged utilitarian...

I think you are hard presses nowadays to find a Shapur for less than $100 nowadays Mat. I payed about $120 for a nice XF one, but that was 9 years...
Have you seen the duel head coins of Ardashir? Those depict Shapur on the same coin as his dad.
I bet you and Mat have loads to talk about. :) I actually like the wives on earlier Roman coins as well. I picked up a lot of them last year at...
Ah, Ardashir, brother of Shapur, grandson of Papak. Ruler of Fars, defeater of Parthians, and founder of the dynasty. :D Its an interesting...
That's fine, just pointing out in our area you will hit walls frequently based upon what hoards have hit the market. Just be prepared for it, and...
Agreed. Btw I am a combat vet from the first gulf war. :)
Be careful. I would never use a metal cleaner like brasso. Coin dip will not scratch the surfaces, so that should be preferred.
I never said larger ones with no condition issues were common at all. :) I didn't know speciafically you would not classify any of these as 1's,...
