[QUOTE="Parthicus, post: 4397244, member: 81887"]Nice pick-ups [USER=26302]@medoraman[/USER] , I did take a good look at these group lots but my only multi-coin lot of the sale was a tiny group of 4 Elymais bronzes that had a helpfully low starting bid, and included one type I didn't own yet. In the silver drachms: top row middle (wearing bashlyk) is indeed Sellwood 9.1, assigned by Sellwood to Mithradates I and reassigned by Assar to Phriapatios (c.185-170 BC).
