UMAYYAD: al-Walid I, 705-715, AR dirham (2.90g), Ramhurmuz, AH94, A-128, Klat-387, lovely About Uncirculated, R, ex. Robert Pelletreau collection. Only AH90 and 93 are frequently seen, specially 90. All other dates are at least rare. One must be careful interpreting the number of specimens cited by Klat as an accurate indication of rarity. He cites more specimens for 94 than 93, yet according my own experience of more than 45 years, I would estimate that for every 94 I've encountered, I've seen at least 3 or 4 examples of 93. And AH90 is probably at least twice as common as 93. Quantity in auction sales must also be understood carefully. Wasit 93 is probably at least 50 times more common than Ramhurmuz 93, but unless one examines the group lots, Ramhurmuz 93 will appear at auction more frequently than Wasit 93!
