Just out of interest, I can't find it in my book by Kenneth Bressett, what is the average value of a Gold Double Eagle?

Anywhere from $725 in VF to over 100,000 in MS state (not including the S-G DE)

Numis I'd recommend getting a RedBook. It has info on almost every US coin out there and a good price guide. |

What about common dates in AF?

I'm not sure what AF is but the ones that you have pictured look to be around $750-$900 range. It's a shame the 58 has the gash and the 67 looks discolored and disfigured at bit. Try to take some better pics and also shoot the reverses of the coins.

Hello Marie, Your pictures need to be larger, brighter, and more clear in order to estimate grades for your gold pieces. You need to verify the mint marks on these coins. The Liberty Head coins will have mint marks just below the eagle's tail feathers on the reverse. For these years, there will be an S, a CC, or no mark. The 1858 might have an O (New Orleans), but you've identified it as the more common S-mint (San Francisco). If your 1882, 1883, and 1884 coins are S mint, they will probably be worth $700-800 unless they are choice uncirculated. If they are CC (Carson City), they are probably worth $1000 and up, depending on grade. If they have no mint mark (Philadelphia), they absolutely need to be authenticated by a reputable grading service (PCGS, NCG, or ANACS). Those dates are worth thousands if authentic. You would almost certainly not get full value unless they were "slabbed" by one of these grading services. You also need to verify those 1925-D coins. The D (Denver) mintmark would be located ABOVE the date and I can't see it in your photos. That weird-looking letter below the date on these coins is the monogram of the designer, Augustus St. Gaudens. The Denver coins are worth at least $1500 and possibly much more. If there is no mintmark above the date, these are the common Philadelphia coins, worth $750 and up. Please post better front-and-back photos of each coin if possible. I'm hoping you really do have some of the rare ones! |

^Andrew - I just missed one at £10 ($20) due to my parents' slow connection making me miss the close finale of bidding whilst I was at their house, would you say I've missed out on much? Or is that about the value - item was slightly worn, so probably AF and year was 1904 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....52&rd=1&rd=1^Grace - I might do this one day but at the moment I'm spending all my pennies on coins :) Such glee! How much is a RedBook anyway? - go on, advertise.. :P Edited by NumisMattyUk

Good thing you lost that auction, you were bidding on a fake coin.

Bryan The guy only buys at those prices and every time I telephoned him he just had sold everything to an american or somebody else who bought all his stock  Sellers can get better prices on ebay germany unless it are damaged coins which is his first category in the list . |

Spend the $30 or so per coin to get them graded. Then you will have a basis for your decision. Remember..... keep the coin for appeal and not the grade!
