What will pcgs grade these 2 goldcoins???

 

First one..

 

second..

 

[michael]

i grade both 850-900 usd each

 

i cant tell if either will grade for sure from the photos........ i am 60/40

I really like the reverse but the obverse does show some wear.

 

(When NGC grades a coin the obverse counts for about 60% of the grade while the reverse counts for about 40%.)

 

Hard to tell from the photos but it may have had a quick dip at one time.

 

If you have money for gold coins you should really invest in a decent copy stand. (You obviously already have a great camera.)

 

May I suggest.....

Well made and will last a lifetime. I have had one for over eight years and it still looks and works like new. Here is a recent photo taken with it.....

My guesses are: AU-55, and UNC details.

AU53-AU55 range on each. A lot of chatter on the first one. The second one looks funny in a couple of the photos.

Dipped and/or lackluster. Possibly cleaned...

EDITED TO ADD: Since the coin is a 09-S it's possible it just wasn't well made to begin with and hence the lackluster look. If it were a 32P then it is more likely overly dipped.

My WAGs are 62 and 55

I was thinking about getting one of those stands, but didn't realize that they we're so expensive.

The 1909-S eagle looks worked (tooled) on the obverse nose. Hard to grade from photos that do not show surface detail well.
