I was just curious if someone could help me grade them (and confirm they're real!). Thanks. First the 1885: And the 1958: Thanks everyone. Report this Post to the Staff

Tryna Pillar of the Community United States 937 Posts	Posted 01/18/2015 9:46 pm as you are in the US you would be hard pressed to get much more than current melt value for either of them. I think the 1885 would grade Very Good by the British grading system. The 1958 would be around a Very Fine maybe a Good Very Fine, but I do not think it is quite that good. There may be varieties that could make them worth more but I do not know if there are. Do not be alarmed if a knowledgeable Brit gives them a lower grade. Report this Post to the Staff
jakesis Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 01/18/2015 10:02 pm Yeah, when I looked online, neither was valued very high. I do know something about coins generally, but I'm still surprised that gold coins aren't worth more as coins, not just the gold. Should have invested in 1909-s VDBs ;-) Report this Post to the Staff
