Questions on grading (10 & 20 dollars liberty head) 1 1

[PeterBorn]

Hi guys, I am new here and have been researching on the coins I inherited from my grandfather. I am just wondering which grade (PrAG) these coins are, so that I could determine its value accurately. 

 

Thank you so much.

Hello and welcome to the forum. The 3 coins you have posted are very nice. One has been mounted in jewelry and most likely cleaned as evidenced in the slight color tone difference of the coin. The coin would need to be removed prior to grading. The jewelry mounted coin would receive a details grade from being cleaned and removed from jewelry. The coin would still have a value but not as much as the others that were not cleaned and removed from jewelry. The other 2 coins look good with no issues. A specific grade cannot be assigned to these coins from pictures alone. Only an approximate photo grade can be stated. The luster, surface and details of these coins are very nice. All three coins appear to be in high AU (about uncirculated). The coins have a firm value based on their gold content and collectability in higher grades. NGC value price guide will tell you more about the value of these gold coins. They are in very nice condition and collectors would be interested in your coins.

Very nice coins and a wonderful inheritance gift from your grandfather.   As you have been researching you know that all three are common dates so no significant numismatic values over the spot gold values for any of the three.   The 1900 double eagle is a melt value only coin due to the jewelry mount damage of $2,050, both of the eagles are high AU to possibly low MS grades (difficult to judge the luster in your photos) so I'd peg the values of those at $1,100 each.
