<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1532690, member: 19463"]$4 is about right for average ones and yours is a bit nicer than many so I might even say $10 for the decent centering. Many are a lot worse. You do have the obverse upside down. Indo-Sasananian refers to coins from the region between the old Sasanian realm (Persia) and India that roughly copied types of the Sasanians with the reverse of the fire altar. Yours is late and hardly recognizable but you may get the picture better if you look at the development as shown on my page on the subject.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/gadpaisa.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/gadpaisa.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/gadpaisa.html</a></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/gadpaisa.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/gadpaisa.html" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/gadpaisa.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/gadpaisa.html" rel="nofollow">[ATTACH]202983.vB[/ATTACH]</a></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/gadpaisa.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/gadpaisa.html" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/gadpaisa.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/gadpaisa.html" rel="nofollow">T</a>hese are about the best hunk of medieval silver you can buy for $5.
