<p>[QUOTE="Parthicus, post: 2658660, member: 81887"]Thanks for the input everyone, as you can see I decided to go with the Parthicus pseudonym. Although the risk of using my real name is probably small (my home would be difficult to break into, and all my valuable coins are in a bank safe deposit box anyway), there would be no advantage to using my real name. I'm not famous, either in the numismatic world or in general (sorry, those of you who thought I was secretly George Clooney <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ), and anyway "Parthicus" sounds cool. Will coins from the Parthicus Collection have any added premium in the years to come? I have no idea, I will just have to let the collecting community decide.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=9204]@Ardatirion[/USER]: Thanks for the kind words, I am really looking forward to this sale. The estimates are quite conservative (as I mentioned in our emails), but on the plus side that means the starting bids are extremely reasonable, so there's no reason for anyone with any interest in Parthians not to at least try a few bids. And, just to whet a few appetites, here is a tiny part of the collection, from a set of photos I took before sending it off to CNG:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]589405[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
