<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kaveh Alaf Pour, post: 24722588, member: 121715&quot;]I have recently come across these two Sasanian Dinars sold recently in CNG auction 124- Lot 410-411.

(If you know what I mean)</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, it’s just SAD that where numismatic market is going.</p><p>Don’t get trapped by big names and always do your own research.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1581423[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1581424[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1581425[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
