Hopefully this is correct but I don't know how to distinguish it from Volo III etc. yet and seller did not provide an attribution. His pics are somewhat blurry on the reverse, but I am just trying to confirm this is Volo IV. I have been looking for an affordable example for a few months (I told Bob I'd add one to my collection!)

Again, sorry for seller's bad photos, I will take proper photos when I have it.

Good call, Adam: Vologases IV. The blurry pics make pinning down the variety challenging, but it appears it may be a Sellwood 84.128/Sunrise 452.

Looks like a very nice example. Congrats.

By the way, when in doubt use the interactive Parthian ID tool at: https://mrcollector.eu/parthia/identifier.php

It is brilliant. Assuming the user fills in each field correctly, it never fails.

Thanks Bob! I did tell you I would pick up a Volo IV when I found an affordable nicer example. My winning bid was just under $31.

I will take pictures of course.

Edit: Tried your site, it nailed the attribution in about 20 seconds. Thank you!

Photos in hand. Weight is 3.6-3.7 grams, looks great.

Thanks for the help & kind words!

Sweet. Sharply struck and nicely toned. In my opinion, worth perhaps 3X what you paid, Adam.

Neat - how wide is it? Looks fairly substantial.
