Flying Eagles from "My Father's Collection"

Any estimate on grade and value? I apologize for the photography. I can try harder if someone wants me to retake a particular coin.

If real, those kind of look like proofs.

According to PCGS,
https://www.pcgs.com/prices/detail/flying-eagle-cent/664/most-active

1857 is worth ~$10,000
1858 is worth ~$10,000

 

I wouldn't think they are proofs. I was thinking maybe MS60-65? In any case, I would imagine they are worth taking to PCGS.

 

Maybe they just look too shiny.

Yes, either MS or PR, in that condition, if real, are definitely worth grading. People simply wouldn't buy them unslabbed

 

Hard to tell from those images, but I think these coins are cleaned. Assuming that is true they'd be UNC Details.

 

Good point. I saw extra shiny and sharp and figured proof. That type of shine, now that I think about it, is uncharacteristic of these coins.

Please see my post "Indian Cents" as I have a question about cleaned coins. Thx.
