<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1968220, member: 19463&quot;]I do not claim to know the names of all dealers who have ancients but see only three here.&nbsp;&nbsp; One is enough to make a good show if they have what you want.&nbsp; In my case that would be Don Zauche.&nbsp; Another listed here is Fred Shore who wrote a very good book on Parthian coins that you need to own if you collect Parthian.&nbsp; IMHO it is not worth $375.&nbsp; Amazon used books often are jokes.</p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Parthian-Coins-History-Dragons-Against/dp/0963673807" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/Parthian-Coins-History-Dragons-Against/dp/0963673807" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Parthian-Coins-History-Dragons-Against/dp/0963673807</a></p><p><br /></p><p>$295?&nbsp; That is what they seem to be bringing now.&nbsp; </p><p><a href="http://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/cybernumis_world_coins/209/product/book_parthian_coins__history/452182/Default.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/cybernumis_world_coins/209/product/book_parthian_coins__history/452182/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/cybernumis_world_coins/209/product/book_parthian_coins__history/452182/Default.aspx</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think he has any left at original list.&nbsp; Fred is a knowledgeable dealer in more expensive coins.&nbsp; His coins will cost more than Don&#039;s.&nbsp; The third I saw was Parry Bragg who sells absolutely any and everything (coins, stamps, tokens, buttons, paper and many things hard to define).&nbsp; He occasionally has an ancient I want but he is by no means a specialist dealer.&nbsp;&nbsp; Three dealers so very different could provide one that fits for many people but I doubt many will find anything of interest at all three tables.&nbsp; They are <u>very</u> different.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>These guys do more shows than I could possibly find the strength to handle.&nbsp; Whether I will find anything worth buying at Fredericksburg depends on whether my dealers buy more at Gettysburg or sell all they had.&nbsp; I do not regularly see coins at a show I remember seeing the last time I saw that dealer except when the dealer is asking too much for a coin.&nbsp; Certainly I would rather you not buy the coins I want a week before I see them.&nbsp; Ulterior?&nbsp; Don&#039;t go to the show.&nbsp; All they will have is filthy money. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie47" alt=":greedy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
