<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4547925, member: 26302&quot;]Yes they were. I bought group lots of them 15 years ago. Huge hoard found. Someone had a guesstimate I read somewhere in the tens of thousands of them in one find.</p><p><br /></p><p>Happens frequently in ancient collecting. Same is happening right now with Athenian owls. Before that there was a massive hoard of Hormizd II found over a decade ago, but the Sassanid market is thinner than greek and has taken this long to absorb them all.</p><p><br /></p><p>I always tell everyone to buy into the hoard. When hoards hit the market, prices drop. However, once the hoard is dispersed the prices go right back to where they were. ALWAYS buy when you see a hoard or you will regret it is my opinion. I think I own maybe 60-80 of these in various denominations and conditions, many of them from group purchases of collectors buying in this period.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yours is a very nice example sir.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
