Iranian Coins

4 posts
A few weeks back I found these in part of a larger lot of coins. Pretty cool find, they are 500 Dinar from Iran from 1916, 1925, 1928, and 1/2 Rial from 1931. As you can see, all of them have clips soldered onto them for jewelry, and I posted these in another discussion, asking if that was normal for the Middle Eastern culture https://en.numista.com/forum/topic78091.html .
With that said, it seems to affect the value less being holed, that it would if they were more Western coins.
Either way, I was wondering if anyone could give me a good approximation of the value of these. I also have a 1927, 2000 Dinar I found in the same lot, I'll post a photo of that too at a later date.

For me, only the silver value....

My opinion is that value is only dependent on collectors demand alone.

Some may/may not care about the soldered metals (Though the coins look a lot more worn and aged than the soldered metal). One side appears to be more better condition imo also. It depends how many specific collectors would be interested in eg. Old Iranian Coins & Iranian History (Since the soldering is a part of their culture/history supposedly). There are many other types of collectors out there too that might be interested in these coins (eg. People who collect years).

In general, I think most collectors prefer their coins round and more 'preserved'. Though the soldering is apart of the coins life and there are collectors out there who could appreciate that.
We are all the scientists of tomorrow.
Scrap silver value only for me.
