I have been buying silver for a few years and have just started getting into collecting. I have been primarily buying Graded Pandas, Graded ATBs, and a few others. That brings me to my question: Just bought a coin off of ebay that was advertised as "Iran 5oz silver coin" on the obverse is a picture of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi shah of Iran with the date of 1367(translates to 1988). The writing says (Translated) "in the memory of his majesty Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, king of kings". On the reverse it says "5 troy oz of .999 silver" It is limited mint with number "0057" and has a "CC" roll mark on it. weight is correct and it came in a case. Owner didn't know anything about the coin and said a friend gave it to him in late 80's. I can't find anything on it and I am stumped! I can tell you that it wasn't minted in Iran as 1988 was after the Islamic Revolution. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

I only collect circulating ones) Report this Post to the Staff

Hobbyist New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/19/2012 11:04 am You may be right Trout. I emailed irangoldcoin.com and asked him about the coin. He thought "Continental Coin Mint of Vegas" has minted this coin. They are since gone out of business, but I can't find anything on them. I would really like to verify if they minted it. The "CC" Roll mark is the key! I have also found Bars on ebay with "CC" roll mark minted by "Continental Coin" but don't know if it is in Vegas or California. There is a "Continental Coin Co" in CA but I think this it is not the same. Report this Post to the Staff
