[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 8329131, member: 80952"]I like your FTR. Well struck and very well centered, common or not, this is irrelevant. But anyway a FTR with these details, even if not a rarity, is not as common as one might think. My collection is not homogeneous (and I like it this way). I mainly collect Roman Imperial coins. Especially 1st-3rd century. This was my first area of interest when I started this journey. But I study and buy coins with equal pleasure from different areas - provincial, Republican and Greek. This coin is out of my normal area and I don't intend to buy more Parthian coins but I felt the need to add something "exotic".
