This is my high school graduation present from my mother.  However, this is my first ancient and I know absolutely nothing other than what the ebay listing tells me. 161318114574So, here are my questions: -Is it genuine, and if so did we get a good deal? -I'm a bit OCD about all my coins having catalog numbers- where can I find one for this? Thanks!   |

I'm not an expert on Parthian coins so I can't speak to its authenticity but I like it! The price seems in line with what are listed on vcoins: http://www.vcoins.com/en/Search.asp...OnSale=FalseThe ebay listing has the catalog references: Sellwood 52.16; Shore 283; Sunrise 393 |

can't see your ebay link. I was guessing it was phraates iv, but not sure. interesting that the Wikipedia page for phraates iv has a similar coin pictured.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phraates_IVI'm not a Parthian expert (or an anything expert for that matter), but it looks ok to me. in fact it looks gorgeous. check the weight, should be just under 4 grams or so. |

Pars coins is a well-known professional ancient coin dealer with a vcoins shop. You can be sure it is genuine.
