I am not in love with Parthian coinage designs yet thought these would be representative for the ancient set. Images are NGC's and hopefully I can do better.

I am also not a big fan of Parthian coinage design. They seem like a *better* version of the Anglo-Saxon stuff I collect. But, these coins seem very nice to me. And, yes, your images are MUCH better than NGC's. (NGC's images made the coins seem freshly dipped, which I'm hoping that yours is more representative.)

A quick spin through CNG's archives shows numerous lovely examples with better strikes and similar condition (maybe not as shiny) but their grades (unslabbed) are mostly EF.
Maybe I just don't understand grading.
Excellent!

Lack of information/knowledge on my part is also another reason I have not delved more deeply into this field.
