I have had owned these coins for several years. I never find time to work on them because consignments come in faster than I can get them done. Other people's coins come first. If you enjoy attributing Persis coins, please help.  Thanks!

Joe,

GS65700 is actually a Parthian issue "likely...minted somewhere in Persis" (Shore).  It's a Shore 379 or 380, a diobol of Vologases I.  Also referenced as "Sellwood, Numismatic Chronicle 1989, Plate 42, Type 1."  See the second from the bottom here: http://parthia.com/vologases1.htm#Type_70
