Not a bad start of a Sasanian collection. Most appear to be Khurso II and would grade at aF IMO because of the damage and wear.

@SC, another resource for you would be Göbl's book, "Sasanian NUmismatics".

Thanks all, so what do you mean by the grade aF echizento? Sorry I'm not familiar with that term. Does it mean About Fine?
Does anyone have any thoughts about the pricing? The value of the coins isn't a concern to me at all, was just curious.

Yes aF is about fine, as far as value based on condition I'd say around $10-$15 each.

Thanks again Palouche

Coin 2....Not 100% sure on date maybe someone else can check..Again I'd pay about $5...... Note...@SilverCents there are collectors who collect this coin series via dates and mint. If someone needs that particular date or mint to fill a hole they might pay more for it..  |

One thing I found about Khursu II coins is the earlier issues are crude in detail, an got better the better the longer he ruled.
