[QUOTE="TJC, post: 2957843, member: 45502"]Just received this Shapur I in mail. The portrait and the price sold me on this one. I also like the reverse. Although poorly struck I like what looks like to me as a half finished recut die job. Can someone please help me with the date? I have read some old threads that point to the numiswiki page (below) that shows the dates but I can't make heads or tails of the squiggly lines. I think I have chosen the correct squiggles for close up shots? Also, this coin has silvering and shows signs of base metal. I this normal? You can see the base metal mostly at the base of the alter.
