You may already know this website, but if you didn't then definitely check out these pages by the late Tom Mallon on Sasanian mintmarks and dates:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=sasanian%20mints" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=sasanian%20mints" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=sasanian mints</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Sasanian%20Dates" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Sasanian%20Dates" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Sasanian Dates</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
