Watch List notes:

SASANIAN KINGDOM: Varahran II, 276-293, AV dinar (7.35g), G-48var, Sunrise-765 (different dies), royal bust left, wearing winged korymbos, with wings pointing upwards & curled at the tip / fire-altar, without any dots or other symbols, flanked by two attendants, both viewing outwards, excellent strike, with just a touch of weakness over the right attendant, choice EF, RRR. Generally as SNS-A1, but with wings pointing upwards. It appears that all gold dinars of Varahran II published before 2011 bore the wings pointing straight and not curled. Several die varieties of the curled pointed wings have appears in recent years, probably all or most from a single hoard of Sasanian gold dinars. The curled wings are well-known, but quite rare, for silver drachms, of which SNS-A9 is stylistically quite similar to the newly discovered gold dinars. The curled wings also occur on SNS silver drachms of styles G, H, and I, tentatively assigned to Marw, Sakastan (Sijistan), and hwpy (unlocated, perhaps Herat), respectively.

Estimate: 7,000-8,000 USD
