<p>[QUOTE=&quot;acanthite, post: 981717, member: 6647&quot;]Those are nice examples of the Spalapathi Deva type, which I understand is from the general period 750-850 AD. I couldn&#039;t give an opinion on how to grade them, but in looking at coins like this, my interest lies mostly with how much information is visible. Many times on the Shahi king drachms, the title written above the bull is only partially on the flan. I like to see as much as possible That&#039;s just personal preference. Both of your examples cut off the last few letters. The Spalapathi Deva drachm I show below is one I bought because I could see much of the title, and the symbol on the bull&#039;s flank came out well. But its worn and the horseman is very 2D compared to your examples.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH]94260.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
