<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4576231, member: 26302&quot;]Given the prevalance of them in auctions recently, I am assuming a large hoard of &quot;middle period&quot; Sasanian pieces were found. There has been just a ton of nice grade coins from about 390-430 mintages for sale. Of course, I couldn&#039;t lay off of them. Here is one of the groups I just bought this week:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1132987[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>CENTRAL ASIAN. Sasanian &amp; Related. <i>Lot of twenty-five (25) AR Drachms of Yazdgird I &amp; Bahram V.</i> </b>Includes: various mints and dates. Good VF to EF. LOT SOLD AS IS, NO RETURNS. Twenty-five (25) coins in lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have bought some of the other group lots the last year as well. If anyone kind of likes Sasanian coins, but hate ugly coins like many of the late Sasanians can be, or bored with Khusro II coins, (the main nice looking late Sassanid coins available), I would highly encourage to buy into this hoard. Bahram V is the famous Bahram Gur of Persian legend. These are truly scarce coins, and I spent years collecting Sasanid pieces to have these only occasionally offered for sale, and rarely at the quality of these. </p><p><br /></p><p>I always preach to buy into hoards. Maybe I am shooting myself in the foot by posting this, but I wish others here on Cointalk to be able to get coins at a price and quality usually not possible. Group lots are not for everyone, but the prices are down and quality up for single pieces as well. Good time to buy one if you don&#039;t have them.</p><p><br /></p><p>If not, don&#039;t worry. I will just continue Hoovering them up. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
