Building with it

An enchanted iron helmet gives two armour points over 165 uses with the enchantment already on it. Iron takes enchantments less readily than gold, so finding one enchanted is a genuine shortcut for a player who has not built an enchanting setup yet.

In practice

Iron takes enchantments less readily than gold, so a good roll on an iron helmet is uncommon at a table. Finding one already enchanted is a genuine shortcut, and the helmet lasts 165 uses, which is long enough for the enchantment to earn its keep several times over. Iron has low enchantability, so a good roll at a table is uncommon and a chest-found enchanted helmet is a real saving. Once diamond arrives, the enchantment can be moved by combining at an anvil rather than lost, provided the levels are available.
