    All three arrived today. What a surprise! I ordered them from three different dealers in the United States. I'm not accustomed to receiving orders so quickly. I order most of my Judaean coins from Israel and the process usually takes several weeks.

    Cool, now all you need is 200 more years worth of coins and you'll have the entire Parthian collection. I think you should go for it.

    Those Parthians are really nice coins, aren't they? Glad you are enjoying them.

    Each is better than the others. That is the problem with our children. We love them all.

    Well, the Parthians were expert horsemen, so naturally their coins would also gallop quickly... Glad you're enjoying this new sub-theme!

    I like the Parthians. Do they relate to your biblical collecting theme? You are a great addition to our little ancient family, I like how you are using coins to inspire people.

    Rush is one of my all time favorites. I saw their last tour in Orlando. They are in their early sixties but you can see they still love to play music. They played three hours straight and kicked ass!

    I hope I have the same energy when I get there.

    Everyone knows the second line below but I doubt Rush even realized how they were offering guidance to collectors of ancient coins.

    "You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
    If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
    You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
    I will choose a path that's clear
    I will choose freewill"

    Loosely translated:
    You can listen to the advice of TIF and crew or not
    But you can't straddle the fence
    You can live in fear of fakes and bronze disease
    or
    You can decide to enjoy the ride,
    After all, t
    his is supposed to be fun.
