Your 1897-S double is worth $2000+ in MS63 (which appears to be the grade, maybe higher)
WE cannot determine the value of your cent unless we get pictures to accurately grade the coin.

... But in MS65, the 1909 VDB would be worth $40-50.

I agree with Crusinfusion on the prices. Assuming that the grading is right.

I think the double is worthy of grading.

Thank you. That gives me at least a price range.
So, what would you sell the $20 Liberty for?
I suppose with the 1909 VDB is worth significantly less than the 1909S?

What company graded the cent? The big money 1909 is going to be the 1909-s VDB.

Yes. If it has an S, you should be proud of it in MS65. MS65 1909-S VDBs go for about the same price as the double!
However, before you sell the Double Eagle, I would advise you to get it slabbed by PCGS or NGC, but PCGS may bring you a premium. You'd sell it for significantly more than you would raw, and it would be worth the grading expenses and the wait.

I would have that gold coin graded because there is a thousand dollar difference from MS63 to MS64. Noticing the scratches on the field I'm guessing a $2,000 coin.
1909 VDB MS65RD sell for $100 and the red/brown for $70

A better picture of the obverse would help us!  |

Crusinfuaion, What is obverse? My apologies for not knowing coin terminolog- I'm learning daily though, haha. I don't have coins in my possession. I will see if I can get a better picture.
I have got to check into getting some of my uncles coins graded. Sounds like PCGS is the way to go.
I guess I need to double check the VDB Penny and make sure it's not an "S"
I remember my uncle coming home one day saying he found a jackpot Penny--- I thought maybe this was it.
Can someone tell me

The obverse if the front of the coin, the reverse is the back of the coin.

Lincolnguy, so far I have 16 rolls (different dates) of mostly UNC & proof pennies and roll each of 1956P & 1960P Lincoln memorial reverse large print- all from my uncles collection in which my aunt is trying to sell. Neither of us know a thing about coins but I've been trying to learn as much as I can to help her sell them. I haven't even begun research on pennies except for the single 1909 research. I couldn't believe grading pennies entailed so much due to having to even color code them (red, copper, brown, red brown) over whelming.
Can you tell me how one would grade pennies in rolls that have been uncirculated and proof? Would that be graded as the highest MS?

Hambone, I am not sure what some of the posters here are seeing to offer such technical grades off those pics but if possible, you should remove the coin from the holder, take very clear head on shots of both the obverse and reverse and allow some more profound gold experts that have handled a couple of hundred of these over the decades guide you on what you may or may not have.
I for one have bought and sold dozens of gold coins and I am hesitant to offer an opinion just off those pics other than to say it APPEARS mint state but whether an MS61 to MS65 or even lightly cleaned at some point is just not feasible to offer you based on current photos.
