[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3201414, member: 26302"]Thanks Mat. Regarding the lots, the two cheap ones is normal for me. If I can justify wanting one or two coins I consider the rest of the coins "free", and who can resist "free" ancient coins? I do feel I got greedy with the Parthian bronzes, but I am just shocked they are on the market in such quantities now. I literally went 15 years without seeing none ever for sale. It seems just the last 2 or 3 years they are available. I am a big believer in buying what you can when you can in ancient coins, as hoards hit the market, depress prices, then get dispersed. I am afraid this might be the case with Parthian bronzes. Anyone interested in them I would suggest avail themselves of the current availability. Anyone else remember Hormizd II, Koson staters, or any number of other issues? Rare coins, then very common and every dealer has them, then a while later rare again. Just the nature of the hobby. Buy when things are common and cheaper. :)[/QUOTE]
