SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 09/19/2009 09:49 am Neal, You have a nice collection of gold. These look to be problem-free. You ask if you should have them graded by a reputable company ... absolutely! Uncertified gold coins make most collectors weak-kneed these days with all the counterfeits flooding the market. Those coins in a reputable holder would have instant liquidity. PCGS is the most reputable, followed by NGC and ANACS. PCGS and NGC require a membership fee for private submissions. ANACS does not and since these are fairly common date coins I would recommend ANACS just to get them in a holder. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 09/19/2009 11:06 am I would respectfully disagree with SeatedNut about having this half eagle graded, unless you intend to put it up for sale. An AU-graded 1901-S half eagle (I'd call it no better than AU-50) is worth bullion value plus a small numismatic premium and having it in a TPG holder won't really increase that value. If it has about the proper weight (8.359 grams) it is almost certainly authentic. If you want to put it up for sale on ebay it will probably fetch a few more dollars in TPG plastic. Even so, that difference likely won't be enough to pay back the grading cost. I would just keep this coin in my collection and enjoy it! Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 09/19/2009 11:57 am I'd call it EF-45 to AU-50. I would only submit it if there was a question as to it's authenticity. Report this Post to the Staff
