Grading Sasanian coins

Hello 

I know that NGC does not grade Sasanians at the moment but I was just wondering if you guys are planning on grading them in the future considering their popularity among collectors.

thanks

At present the only Sasanian coins we grade are those submitted in large groups, and the coins must be of durable metal. Unfortunately, we have no plans in the near future to grade coins in the series under any other circumstances. The only way we can maintain our standards is by restricting ourselves to coin types for which we have strong knowledge, and Sasanian is outside any of our specialties.

Thank you for your reply, 

I'm aware that you grade them in bulk which is at least 100 coins per submission which just more examples than most collectors own. I do understand where you’re coming from and your concern about quality of grading, it’s just a shame because you'd find these coins in almost every ancient coin collector alongside with Roman and Byzantine coins!

Thanks again 🙏
