[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7955720, member: 115909"]Thanks for all the information :). I was just planning on trying to get 1 drachm for each ruler. So if one ruler issued multiple types and some are very rare while others are common I would go with the common one. I usually like to get XF or better when possible but if some rulers cost a fortune even in F grade then I would accept that and just get a lower grade. Kind of like with my Roman Emperors. I would not be happy with a VF grade Trajan because they are pretty affordable all the way up to AU but Caligula or Claudius? Yeah I’d be just fine with an F grade one. I’m not sure if Parthia issued other denominations also like didrachms or tetradrachms but if so I don’t plan on getting those. Just the 1 drachm silver coins. I like that they aren’t heavily debased like the Romans ended up doing because I’ve never been a big fan of copper coins due to how dark they are and how hard the details are to see when they start changing funky colors.[/QUOTE]
