Watch List notes:

SAMANID: 'Abd al-Malik I, 954-961, AR dirham, NM, ND, A-1462L, a lovely quality mint state example! NGC graded MS63. Imitative dirham from the Andaraba region, with the ruler's name condensed to just 'ubayd, probably struck circa 960s-980s. Local series struck somewhere in the region of Andaraba, with the overall style derived from the crude Banijurid issues in the names of 'Abd al-Malik and Harb b. Sahlan (types A-1438.1 & 1438.2).

Estimate: 100-150 USD
