Iran: Comprehensive Pahlavi Dynasty Collection,
<B>Comprehensive Pahlavi Dynasty Collection, </B></I>an incredibly high grade and remarkably complete collection of 203 non-gold coins struck during the reigns and Reza and Mohamed Pahlavi, 1925-1978, all individually described, some with obsolete prices. This group was assembled by an advanced collector in the USA during the 1970's and includes many coins which are simply not available in today's market in UNC. We have listed the earliest Reza Shah coins along with some key dates from the Mohamed Shah era. This is unquestionably the finest and most complete collection of this series which has ever been offered at public auction. Many of the prices listed in the SCWC for UNC coins after about 1950 are far too low.
