Here's my bronze of Ardashir I, featuring reverse of the goddess Anahita in a throne or niche:

 

I love both your coins @Parthicus and @panzerman

The crispness of the coin after so many years @panzerman is phenomenal. Was it uncirculated? It's amazing. Wow.

 

Great new gold addition, love the reverse of it.

 

Anahita, that is a rarely seen Goddess Parthicus, thanks for posting it.

 

Thanks Mat, once part of the famed "Adam's" Collection....
I think he had over 3000 AV coins.

 

Eh, not bad. Just another amazing gold from the Panzerman Hoard!

 

It was described by CNG as "supberb EF", which translates to MS-66 if TPG. I saw some EF turn up later as MS-65! CNG definately has super grading codes.

 

Here is a bronze of the types as @panzerman 's:
