<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 769296, member: 9204&quot;]For the first time since I gave up US coins, I got a numismatic present! I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon working on them. Apparently, there was supposed to be a fifth, but the buyer couldn&#039;t find the coin. So he sent a refund, along with about 30 lower grade imitations! THAT was the big surprise. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/18271/normal_Peroz%2C_AS_mint%2C_9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; [FONT=&amp;quot]Peroz[/FONT]</p><p>&nbsp; [FONT=&amp;quot]Sassanian Empire[/FONT]</p><p>&nbsp; [FONT=&amp;quot]AR Drachm[/FONT]</p><p>&nbsp; [FONT=&amp;quot]‘AS’ mint (Aspahan?)[/FONT]</p><p>&nbsp; [FONT=&amp;quot]Crowned bust r.
