Would like to hear your opinion's on this Gold Coin. I have never had a coin graded. Thinking of doing so now as this coin will be passed on to my grandson. Your opinion's will help me to decide if worth sending for grading. Lastly I would seek your help on "how to" submit.

Thanks

It looks like AU to possibly MS-60. This date is common and there is little price difference between MS-60 and AU-50. I do not see what you could gain from TP grading.

Looks AU-53/55. Do NOT send this one in. It is not worth it.

This is a nice piece to pass on to your grandson but is not worth the cost of certification. It appears to be around AU50 and is a common date worth roughly $350 retail. If I were you then consider a CoinWorld slab or something similar as a good option for low cost protection and ease of handling.

Looks AU, not worth submitting though but a great coin to pass down.

Mid-AU, nice gift, but not worth submitting.
