i will try to find this out
easiest you get 2 identical envelopes, put coins in one of them, come to post office and ask the person behind desk to weight both envelopes. pretty accurate and the only risk is the coins wil hit each other while in envelope

Nice.

Maybe this is correct;

Minted in 1979, called "Bahaar-e Azaadi" or "Bahar-e Azadi"

if so, the gold content;

8.136g * 21.6 Kt (90%)
7.3224g au * $43.8664
$321.21 USD / 0.9291 = 345.72 BTC ea.

plus a premium for being a sweet coin.

Correction. The first is minted in 1370=1991/2 AD. The other is 1367=1988/9 AD.

it could be really
Weight: 8.1360 grams
Purity: .900 pure gold
per piece
maybe selling them separately would result in better price

sorry, where are you getting this info from? if its the ebay page i posted, thats another seller, i thought the coins were the same but then i realsied that they might have different mint dates. I'm going to go to a shop tonight and get them weighed, and ask if theres a way to check gold content

That's what I figured, but Raulo says no.

> Correction. The first is minted in 1370=1991/2 AD. The other is 1367=1988/9 AD.

According to my numismatics books, only brass coins were struck in those years.

correction on the second one is 1368 not 1367. but now you say this i am suspicious, this selling is cancelled till i find out more. i asked at the gold shop and she didnt do anything but said it was gold, so i assumed that. thanks for telling me.

Yes, 1368. One year later. Sorry.

that's pitty
if they were golden, they would have the same gold content as the sovereign 1 pound coins
that's what i like on them.
