Looks like you did very well. How many yard sales do you go to? All I've ever found is at them is junk.

I'll certainly be curious about the quarter eagle. To me, the original lot looks like a setup.  |

I agree with frog on that quarter eagle. Looks too mushy.

I am not an expert on gold quarter eagle authenticity ... but IMHO that single coin carries this lot for you.
Suggest you confirm somehow authenticity ... well shown and properly oriented photos here could do it.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

It the massive highway 127 yard sale... the older gentlemen owned a pawnshop that had recently closed, keep in mind was in a massive box of old silver which I know nothing about, other then a single gold coin. After showing it to him he said "hey, that's not supper to be in there." I said I'm an honest person. He said "give me 20?" Sounds weird I totally agree but here it is. The 1914 is the 20$ purchase, the other two are 1913 purchased them both for 175 about 2 months ago. Thanks guys let me know if those arnt good enough.       |

The 1913's look ok but jewelry grade scrap gold quality and priced right for that. Do they weigh 4.1 grams?

Selling a known fake coin is one thing. Bragging about passing that fake onto another party on a public site is another. You may want to delete that post Baldridge0008.

You are right.. they are known for keeping addicts fed in this area, and known to be extremely shady. I didn't think about other people's perspective.

Go to a jewelry store and take these gold coins and this mystery 1842 and ask for the weight and call ahead make sure they have an XRF machine and ask them to test it.

The gold is fake, I am 100% positive. Not even close to a good one either.
