<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3057581, member: 19463&quot;]I have heard this theory and believe it is a reasonable guess at the very least.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Sasanian silver coins are often thin enough that breakage is a problem.&nbsp; Some later ones like Yazdgard III are often ragged enough that I felt lucky to get one this good on the edge while some earlier ones are regularly solid edged.&nbsp;&nbsp; Late coins can be twice the diameter of some earlier ones that weigh the same. One dealer I know always places Sasanians he sells in hard plastic capsules for mailing.&nbsp; I&#039;ll bet he had problems with the post office in the past and believes in a little extra care.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]766378[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
