What's worth more, steel bars or the coal and iron used to make them?

I'm f2p and have a semi-decent mining level (46.) I was wondering this- should I mine coal or iron for money? Where should I mine it? Where hould I sell it? For how much? Thanks in advance.

F2P needs a good mage armor from Dragon Slayer. Melees get rune plate, rangers get green dragon body, but what do mages get? Nothing. The best mage armor f2p has are wizard robes and hat. That's right- the stuff that the wizards in the wizard tower, or the dark wizards south of Varrock drop. This hugely imbalances the combat triangle; a melee can easily kill a mage.
