<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1674462, member: 26302&quot;]Here is my latest little pretty. I have wanted one for a long time. I wish it were a little better style, and wish there weren&#039;t the soft spots, but a perfect example runs into the thousands on Vcoins. I bought this as part of a group of three coins from a poor photo, so that is why I was able to get it reasonably.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do I want more? Yeah, I would buy 40 or 50 if I could find them for sale reasonably. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> For some reason I just like this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is controversy as to what the figure to the right is. Some say its his son, but most believe its the God Ahuramazda giving a laurel, (sign of power), to the king.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found a die match to this coin being sold at Kunker listing it as Gobl 86var. In hand it appears to be as struck, (and more lustrous than my photo), but with the strike weakness, (lining up opposite of major devices on the opposite side). I am thinking gVF. What do you guys think? Am I being too strict or too lenient?</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw the other two coins were Sassanids as well, but Khusro II and Peroz. Decent coins, but not this.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]249468.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]249469.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
