<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2859454, member: 19463"]My copies arrived today. The first amazement is that 230 of the 352 plates cover Khusrau II. I knew that most Sasanian coins we see are his but double the total of all the others???? The coins show a great range of qualities including many badly broken and several wholly illegible. The scary part is the collection is nowhere near complete. I was particularly disappointed in the five 'family' drachms of Bahram II. The online listings of CNG sales is vastly larger. If this book of 352 plates and 4424 is a light gloss over in one area, how large would the comprehensive book have been? Learning enough to be expert in the series will take centuries.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
