I posted a "hey, I'm new here" post regarding an inherited collection here:

https://goccf.com/t/183711#1693440

It was suggested that I post pictures of my 2 coins on this subforum and solicit feedback and suggestions. I'm trying to determine if I should have these coins graded, or try to just sell them outright. And if I do decide to sell as-is, I'm curious what they may be worth. Any suggestions, tips, feedback is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance.

This post is for my second coin, an 1887 US $1 Gold coin. I've attached front and back pictures.

This one looks nice and problem-free and likely MS. Could be worth upwards of $500. Again, better pics would help.

As noted your pics are too small. That said you do have a potentially high value piece here and likely it will need to be graded to obtain full value. You could also try selling on ebay with large, hi-res images and hope buyers see the value. As a top-tier certified MS62 that is a $600 coin at retail.

Appears to be at least a high AU and could very likely be mint state. I agree this is coin worth considering getting certified.

With low mintage of 7,500 and prooflike being the norm.
