This is for 8 years in ancients/medieval too.

@Sallent you have made a spectacular start. Come back in 10 years and tell us how many coins you have

 

i have 314 ancient coins, just counted (not including junk/give away bag/currently uncleaned/or modern coins...which i have several).

 

Oh man, I am amazed at the folks that can clean the uncleaned coins! I just have no patience, and minimal expertise. My hats off to you!.

Yeah, and I have beau-coup moderns...

 

I thought about trying a lot of coins to clean before. But I barely want to clean my desk.

Maybe someday, I will try a batch and see.

 

Vologese VI, Drachm 3.62 gr

For those interested in parthian coinage, a friend of mine has built a website dedicated to parthia and parthian coin, which, althought written in french, might be very useful : http://www.parthika.fr/

Q

Edit : sorry I forgot the link in first place (been distracted while typing...)

 

"PALTRY"? Mat, what I know and have seen of your collection is impressive! Organized, well researched, expertly attributed, specialized and focused in a niche you love, and expertly pruned and grown as you find new and/or replacement coins. There is never "PALTRY" when you have built such a great collection.

 

WOW, NAILED it. THIS coin would get me into Parthian...

 

Great coin! It is both full dot border and normally off center. It was really struck hard spreading it out to large size. I wonder if it was struck on an older coin which was erased by the strike.

 

Naw, that was a TUESDAY MORNING strike! Workers have worked off the Monday blues, and Tuesday morning is some of the best production time! Slammin' that hammer!

 

Thanks and pretty much what I do. But the pruning is alot less these days, lol.
