Hello again everyone! I am new here, and would like to both share what I find to be my two most interesting coins, and get your opinions on them. I did see the photo grading site, but my eyes can't quite pick up the subtle changes yet. Thanks for letting me share, and for your opinions.

I stink at gradeing gold, and even more so with Indians
So other than grading them as Prety... OOH Shiney

The indian I think is low MS it has a good hit at the E so MS62
The 1907 I think is an AU

both seem to be AU pieces although the 1907 $5 might be an MS contender.

There is too much washout on the lighting to get a feel for the surface originality on the coins.

Keep in mind that gold is softer and will display characteristics on the surfaces that would be considered "damage" on their silver coin counter-parts; moral to the story being, don't let some surface dings discourage the value of the coin or its grade. However, with gold, you will see lots of cleaned specimens due to folks feeling the need to clean them with jeweler-type solutions over the course of time. Again, less lighting on these pics would help.

Both appear to be upper AU, at least 55 and possibly 58. It's darned near impossible to tell from these photos if they have ever been cleaned or dipped, so I'll pass on making any such pronouncement.

Both appear to be details, too.

I would agree with 55 on both, certainly no worse.

These photos make it hard to judge, but I think they're both AU. They're oh-so-close to UNC, but it looks like there's the tiniest bit of wear on them. If one is really UNC, I'd say it is the Liberty. They both have minor hits and/or chatter, but the Indian has two larger hits on the headdress and under the E, so that might downgrade it to AU-55.

And, based strictly on these photos, I'd venture to say the Liberty is details.
