[QUOTE="altaycoins, post: 3106527, member: 16466"]Sure but it also depends on how the variety is defined. For example the specimen below is a very common [URL='http://altaycoins.com/sikke_detay.asp?rnd=NTk3&dil=Mg==']dirham of Uljaytu[/URL] of Ilkhans. [IMG]http://altaycoins.com/sikke_paralari/65_2_10030_.jpg[/IMG] And here is [URL='http://altaycoins.com/sikke_detay.asp?rnd=NzI0&dil=Mg==']a variety[/URL] (the dolphin on the obverse center): [IMG]http://altaycoins.com/sikke_paralari/157_2_31854_.jpg[/IMG] It is the only or the second known specimen of this variety (because the source doesn't exactly tell where he saw his specimen, it might be the exact same coin) But there are other examples from different dies and the coins might look completely different in style and calligraphy but then we might drawn in varieties. And please don't think that I am trying to offend/accuse you or anybody else but I am just trying to be realistic although I am aware that people love to think that they own a unique piece that nobody had ever have.
