To begin with I am not a "collector" more of a hoarder....lol I like to collect and try to maintain the integrity of pretty much anything old. I got these coins to add to my collection but want to get the opinions of the group as to weather these are fake or may be legitimate.
I found this while trying to find information about your coins: http://www.parthia.com/ The one in the plastic looks fake to me. I'm not sure about the one in the cardboard flip though. Having about 5-10 minutes of experience with coins of this type, my judgement is deferred to others with more knowledge.
Both look ok to me, though I'm not an expert and own few Parthian types. The one in the flip appears to be suffering from a pvc/plastic related film. The coin has been left inside the flip too long and is retaining a green-blue residue. I have several coins that suffered the same fate by being left inside "PVC free" BCW flips for years. They're supposed to be temporary holders. I found out the hard way.
Yes I noticed the bluish tint on it,I will put it in a proper cardboard holder, should I or is there something I can do to remove that tint?
Be careful my friend. There are many forgeries out there.... http://www.parthia.com/parthia_forgery.htm
