<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 8202088, member: 74863&quot;]I bought this in 2016 and just now opened it. I saw the paper of the coin that I attached to the outside of the mailer and wondered, “why did I buy this?” Then I saw what I paid and figured I was drunk at the time paying that price. And I don’t drink. Period. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I opened the envelope and as soon as I saw the coin, I was in awe. I can’t believe how nice it looks. Well centered, fully struck, no damage, no spotting and no real wear. Almost better than what the US Mint currently produces. Lol</p><p><br /></p><p>And I paid less than half of what it currently is selling for. Now U know why I bought this coin. It’s a beauty! And it’s my only FIRE ALTAR. It’s larger than a modern quarter but much thinner. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sassanian Kings, Hormizd II</p><p>AD 303-309</p><p>AR Drachm, 3.7g; 27 mm, 9h</p><p>Obverse: Bust of Hormizd II right, wearing eagle crown with korymbos</p><p>Reverse: Fire altar with ribbon and bust left in flames, flanked by two attendants.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1437412[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1437413[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
