johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 07/10/2009 12:31 am Hello, and welcome to the forums! :-) The first and by FAR most important thing is to determine whether or not these are genuine. There is no way to confirm they are genuine from those pictures. Even with really good pictures, there are some very deceptive counterfeits out there, and your best bet is to get them certified to make sure. On a positive note, even if they are fake, they are likely made of real gold and would be worth melt(around $40 or so). Secondly, given they are genuine, there value is dependent on condition, and whether or not the coins have problems(such as cleaning, scratches, ex-jewelry). It's hard to tell from those photos, but they look to be in the XF-AU range(this is just a guess). Given that they are genuine, and problem free; they would be worth in the neighborhood of $150-$250 a piece. Also check to see if there are any mintmarks(C, D, or O) on the reverse, as those would be worth substantially more. Report this Post to the Staff
tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 07/10/2009 07:03 am The 1854 has no mint mark, so you'd just want to verify that the 1851, which I'm assuming is the coin on the left in the photo, has no mintmark on the reverse. If they are both blank, I would lean towards them being authentic, and johnny's pricing is probably pretty good. Of course, as he stated also, clearer pics would tell us if they are a higher grade or not. I think it's the "D" mintmark that carries the premium, so if the 1851 has a D on the reverse under the wreath, you would certainly want to get it authenticated. Regardless, welcome to the forum. If they are real, you have two very nice coins that I have not seen in many peoples collections. Report this Post to the Staff
