Well, Harmonica, it's priced right given the wear.
Be aware, though: it's not a Sellwood 78. It's likely a Sellwood 63.6 (Artabanus II), which are often misidentified as Sellwood 78's. I've actually helped Mike - the owner of the VCoins store that has this listed - with Parthian ID's many times (his brick and mortar store is a few miles from my house), but he didn't run this one by me! If you go ahead with the purchase, tease him that Bob L. corrected the attribution...rub his nose in it! Actually I'll see him tomorrow night as it turns out (our local coin study group's bimonthly meeting)...maybe I'll tease him in person.
Fyi, almost every serious Parthian collector started out with Sellwood 78's or 63's (in my case it was a 78)...so, be careful. If you buy this coin, you may get sucked in!
Best wishes!
