The dime is a 1975 guy said it is a proof no mint mark but that is very unlikely. The other is a 1926 gold georgvis vd g britt. Any help would be great.
From what I can tell from the pictures it seems that the dime probably isn't a proof since during the 70's the San Francisco mint took control of making proof coins and would have an S mint mark. This is most likely a shiny Philadelphia mint dime. Also I can't really tell what the second coin is.
Are you saying its not a proof because it has no S. The guy is saying it is one of the proofs with no s.
Proofs can usually be identified by the strike characteristics and fields. This does not have the look of a proof, even if it did have a S.
Now that I look at it more I am certain it is not a proof even though the quality of the picture is not that good I can still tell it's not a proof. Here's a picture of mine.
Yes for sure not a proof so it is just a MS dime which is worth less mabye 1.10 at best !!! and the pictures are to bad to give an exact grade and i ahve no idea about the good coin can we have pictures of the front ??
It is not a proof. Proofs aren't just the degree of how shiny, but of a different process, including strong images, squared rims/edges, and planchet ( blank) preparation. Yours is a business strike coin.
The gold coin is hard to ID from those photos. They didn't make sovereigns in the UK in 1926, but Australia did & South Africa made sovereigns & half sovereigns. Here are the details from my 2007 Krause catalog Australia: 1 Sov:7.9881 grams, 91.7% gold, 0.2354 oz AGW 1926S: 1,030,99 F: $5,000 / VF $8,000 / XF $12,000 / Unc $15,000 There's also a 1926S proof variety: estimated value $27,000 1926M: 211,000: BV / BV / $140 / $200 1926P: 1,131,00: $400 / $1100 / $1500 / $2000 I'm not sure why the S mintmark carries such a premium. South Africa : 1/2 Sov: 3.9940 g, 91.7% gold, 0.1177 oz AGW 1926SA: 809,000: BV / BV / $85 / $150 1 Sov:7.9881 grams, 91.7% gold, 0.2354 oz AGW 1926SA: 11,108,000: BV / BV / BV / $150
