Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/21/2017 11:22 pm Nice examples of the type. You've delved deeply into those Eastern empires these last few years. Good to see. They deserve more attention from ancients collectors - I'm glad they get some pretty regular promotion on this board, including excellent coverage in your coin reference.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/22/2017 01:34 am Thanks everyone, I should have completed the series when I had the change, now that more people are becoming aware of them the prices have really increased. Bob, I have been holding off on the Parthian coins until I get the all, than I plan on putting them in one big thread. Report this Post to the Staff
