Identify Sasanian Coin If Not Fake!

I suspect these are all fakes (of Shapur I drachms, I believe). Unlikely that they'd be so similar to one another if authentic.

They actually seem authentic to me. I am still learning the type, but these coins are usually found in good condition. The Sassanian empire was very wealthy at this time (Philip the Arab paid Shapur 500,000 gold aureii for a peace accord, and Shapur received similar tributes from later emperors, plus his enemies further East) so a lot of coinage was made to fuel the economy. Lots of coins means that more were hoarded.

Not ruling out the possibility that they are fake; these would be worth in the ballpark of $50-150 each, so the incentive is there. However, I do see differences in die wear, so that is a good sign.

I also like and collect Sassanian coins so I look at a lot of them. These pieces are not constant with genuine example of Shapur I that I've seen. That are all from the same dies and appear artificially toned. IMO they are fakes.
