I would say the first is definitely AG as it looks like the rim is almost gone. The second would be AG or possibly G. Looks like the rim is more complete but can't really tell from the pic.
Is it worth a dollar? People tell me to research the price but I cant find any good sources besides ebay because they overvalue the coin especially pcgs
They are worth a dollar. PCGS prices are only for coins in their holder. PCGS prices can be high or low. Just like most price guides.
The 1895 is a decent date in higher grades but in AG, it's worth $2, maybe $2.50. The 1910 in AG is a $1 coin. For price sources, you can pick up a RedBook for a few bucks. It's kinda the "standard" for coin collectors. Or pick up a copy of CoinWorld magazine. It's got a comprehensive price guide in each issue. They're are other sources but regardless of the source, these are just "guides". They are not gospel. A coin is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
What exactly is it that you want? If eBay is your main venue, using it for values would then be in your best interest and the obvious choice, would it not? If you find their ACHIEVED prices too high, simply make up your own and try to stick with it, but with the understanding that this is usually easier said than done. The more you post and bark demands, the more you're showing that you don't really wish to learn or better yourself. This is a great place to learn, but it really is a two-way street. If this guy thinks real-world sales prices from his venue of choice are too high, he's certain to feel the same about the red book and trends. You're right though; they're not gospel and generally rather poor, but I fear nothing will be sufficient for this individual short some impossible and nonexistent absolute reference.
For newbies, I generally recommend the Redbook simply because its the most accessible -- with the caveat that it is to be used for GENERALITIES only. It's good for finding out whether a coin is a $1 or $10 or $100 coin. It's useful for ballpark values. Its not good for determining the actual current sell price for any coin. I just noticed that in my previous post, I said "they're are". That's redundantly redundant!
As usual, I respect your insights. I think the OP, however, is very new at coin collecting, and is kind of stumbling around looking for help.
I agree, but as you're surely aware, those willing to help themselves usually make out better, both on this forum and in general, than those who prefer we do it for them. If judging the OP's threads as a whole, it seems as if he is often more interested in just the answers as opposed to the process with which they were achieved, and is something I fear will handicap him if continued. As with every decent new person that comes here, I'd like nothing more than to see them succeed, and sometimes a little "tough friendship" is just what the doctor ordered.
