As asked I'm posting all my inherited coins as separate threads for grading. Also, I'm not a coin collector, so it would be helpful if I could get a dollar amount estimate to go along with the grade.   |

The 1798 draped bust dollar has the heraldic eagle reverse and also grades about very fine 30. It is worth about $2,500 and can bring more in the right setting. It is very original and in demand by collectors.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Agr3ee with VF-30, rim damage detracts but I don't think enough to detail it.

this one is the large eagle reverse. there are multiple varieties. none of which I'm familiar with. VF30 and I think numismatic student is pretty good on the price at about $2500
on all of your coins you are going to probably get different grades and pricing. remember grading is subjective. this is one reason to have the coins professionally graded. right now you just need an approximation of grade and value for submission. I would read all the comments and go with the grade and value that is more consistent. maybe toss out the low and high grade or average the grades out. if you are sending these in you do not need an accurate grade at this point just something close for insurance purposes. if you are not sending them in and holding onto them then the grade doesn't mean much other than for your own knowledge. if you plan on selling them then grade is all important. Numismatic Student is a large collector and probably would give you the best price rather than pay the fee's of an auction house if you want to sell them

The rim hit does look pretty heavy on the reverse, I'm sure they are more lenient with coins this old I'm just curious. Even with details it's a beautiful coin,

30 straight. I'm honored to get to see these. I bet they have been off the market for decades.

Another very nice coin. I'll join the VF-30 crowd here.
