AGCoinHunter Pillar of the Community United States 625 Posts	Posted 08/24/2010 2:49 pm I have learned that there is silver in this type of coin. If it's dated 1323-1326 (1944-1947) it's 600 fine silver, for an ASW of .3086 ounces but if its dated 1333-1344 (1954-1965) it's copper-nickel. Any way to read the date? Report this Post to the Staff
wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 08/24/2010 4:25 pm oh really? I always thought the one with the lion were Cu-Ni and the ones with the Shah were silver... Here, follow the Persian numbers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter...als#Numerals and convert it with the Persian Calendar converter here http://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/calendar/ Report this Post to the Staff
weavus135 Pillar of the Community United States 539 Posts	Posted 08/24/2010 6:45 pm the weight would tell you if it is silver. The silver ones are 16g, cu-ni 12g unless it is the 'thin' then it would be 9g (according to Krause). The picture/scan isn't clear enough to read the date. But 1323 would equal 1944 and then count up so if your date says 1323 - 1326 (1947), it is silver. 1333 and above cu-ni. Apparently someone decided to couterfiet a few and dated the 1322. No such date is real (again according to Krause) Report this Post to the Staff
