museumguy Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 08/01/2018 12:30 pm This seller is offering up a Parthian silver drachm on what he says is a re-stamped Roman denarii!!? Where does he get this information from I'd like to know. Please take a look at his link - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Parthian-S...leDesc=0%7C0 Steve S. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 08/01/2018 1:58 pm Yeah, Steve, it's a silly, fanciful listing, an attempt to give a common Sellwood 78 a bit of panache. Fair price, though. Although I have seen Parthian drachms that were listed as possibly overstruck on denarii, those had visual evidence of the undertype. In this instance there seems to be no such evidence. Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/01/2018 7:02 pm The out of focus pictures certainly don't help. At any rate, a 2nd century denarius would be far too small and light to be struck into a Parthian drachm. Report this Post to the Staff
