Impulse buy, Persian ancient coin

Bought this ancient coin today at a show. I know the dealer who was selling it and talked to him for a while. Feeling bad to take up his time, I bought this coin. Any information, such as value, is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Don is not only a thread hijacker, he is a time waster. That is a big part of what makes him who he is, don't fight it Terry it will only lead to trouble!

Hey, it's spinaker who is hijacking MY thread. Back on topic now. Is the coin worth $60????

No!

I would guess it is worth $50 or $70, but I can assure you it is not worth $60. I'll offer you $20 plus .50c for shipping.

Crack it out and go for an AU grade.

Well, if as we always say, it's worth what you're willing to pay for it, I'd say $60 is fair

And, though you may have already seen this site, I'll take the opportunity to link to one of the best Sasanid reference sites online (no pricing info though): sasanian empire

spoon, I've never seen that site. Thanks.

Nice style. Decent strike. Aethelred's got it about pegged price wise. If the reverse is nice I'd probably shoot for about $75.00.
