<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4095077, member: 19463&quot;]Parthicus, what is the spot in front of the archer&#039;s face on the OP coin? </p><p><br /></p><p>I have no pointy beard.&nbsp; What I have makes the point that so many&nbsp; of the coins of this period are badly centered (almost always low) making the exact beard style hard to follow.&nbsp; I have two IDed as Sellwood 63.6 (I have not checked recently but both came from people who knew a lot more than I do then or now).&nbsp; Neither matches the 63&#039;s shown above.&nbsp; What do you make of the extra pile of dots under the archer on the first?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1065652[/ATTACH] </p><p>...or the + in place of the dots on the coin below.&nbsp; These coins cane to me 31 and 27 years ago and I have no idea why I bought and kept both.&nbsp; That is a long time to harbor an error in one&#039;s catalog. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1065653[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The more I learn about Parthian coins, the less I know.&nbsp; I do have one other from the period.&nbsp; Below is what I have been calling Artabanos II AE Chalkoi Sellwood 63.19 /Athena with spear(?) and shield.&nbsp;&nbsp; The dealers that supplied these and their ID&#039;s have passed so I can not go back and ask them.&nbsp; At least I know why I bought the bronze.&nbsp; It was cheap. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1065664[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
