Hello everyone, First let me say that I know squat about coins, other than the fact that some have collector value and some do not. I am a gun collector and through my dealings, I have acquired a few over the years and thought that I should find out what they are and get opinions if I should sell from scrap or do something else with them. Here are two of them that I believe may be the most interesting (from what I was told when I acquired them). If you can help me out and point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.     *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

John1,
Thanks for that information, so I have a coin worth $7.00 to $12,000. How to determine grade?

Download a couple apps onto your phone... PCGS Photograde and PCGS price guide... The price guide is based on them being graded but it will give you a good idea of where you stand. And the photograde will give you very good picture references of each grade level

The Barber dime looks about EF-45, and possibly cleaned. |

The second coin looks like a $1 Gold Liberty Head.

Joe2007 - someone told me the small gold coin looked to be an 1847 California.
My question, with the hole in it, what does that do to the value as it was very common in the 1800's to sew coins into clothes while traveling to hide from thieves that may be encountered.

The hole will reduce it to bullion (less the hole)

To me the small gold looks like a
1/4 dollar California gold
You might want to do a little research and check size and weight.
There are a lot of reproduction California gold coins, I would want
a expert to verify.
The hole would hurt the value.

As CoinFrog has determined, your Barber dime is EF-45, and probably cleaned. The gold is only worth melt value as the hole completely destroyed any numismatic value. |
