1851 O $10 and 1913 $2.5

[Bugmann1974]

A friend of mine that lives in Oregon told me that he has these two coins that a coworker of his wants to buy. He asked for my help to know what to ask for them.

 

What grades would these make and how much should he sell them for?

 

Sorry about the scans but that's the best he could do.

 

1851 O Eagle

 

1913 Quarter Eagle

[Bugmann1974]

Anyone?

1851 looks between XF45 and AU55, i am not the best at that series, but i think all other guesses will fall into that range.

 

the 1913 is a tougher coin to grade, i think that piece is at worst an AU53 and best an MS62

 

the scans make it tougher for both coins, cannot get an idea on the actual color and luster.

I'm thinking XF45 on the Eagle and I have a minimum of AU55 on the quarter Eagle, but zboyle04 is right, that is a hard series to grade, especially from a photo.

I think the eagle is more like VF35-XF40 - go see the images on PCGS photograde and compare - that is perhaps a good way to grade these.....

 

Best, HT

I would grade the 1851-O $10 gold as a VF-30.

 

The 1913 $5 Indian appears to be an EF, but I'm concerned about what appears to be a depression under "A" in "AMERICA." If that is damage the coin is a no grade.
