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.

Nice coins Ron. I'm partial to the second one because the date isn't off the flan. Thanks for posting!

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.
