I remember that thread, good score for you! Congrats. They are neat.
Nice find, Chris. Glad to see new posts from you :) My only Shapur: [img] Sasanian Kingdom, Shapur I (241-272 A.D.) AR drachm O: Bust of Shapur I...

Any denarius of Claudius is a good score, this one especially with a cool reverse. Congrats. It's one of those "I wish". Im lucky to have a...
