Cool morgans and liberty $5 - beautiful

What do you guys think of these? Hopefully the picture quality is good.
Thinking about getting them graded, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Not sure if they're a 63, 65, PL, or DMPL. No clue. Hints would be nice.

In person they look even better.

Ahh I'm so bored. Anyone want to guess some grades?

 

I agree.do you have a photo editor? that my help your photos

 

From the photos I'd almost say polished, but I think it is just the glare. I like the gold though.

 

That was my first thought... the gold piece looks highly polished.

 

Maybe it's just the images/lighting, but the gold coin looks counterfeit to me and the dollars look as if they have been polished.

 

I'm guessing that it's not polished, but rather, a prooflike counterfeit.

 

Interesting. To me when I look at them, they look really nice. Could it be the photo or did we get ripped off?

 

It's possible that it's the photos, but I strongly doubt it. How much did you pay for the items and how were they represented to you? Who was the seller?

 

Thats the thing, my dad bought them from some California company advertising them in the paper. We live in Minnesota. He bought them about 15-20 years ago for somewhere between $750-1,000.

Although I give him credit, he bought the 2006 $50 gold buffalo proof for $800. Good stuff.

 

Do you think it is a gold fake? One thing that you can do ando is weigh and measure the coin and compare against mint specifications. If the weight and dimensions are correct, it is probably made of gold. If that's the case, it almost wouldn't matter if it was fake or not, since the coin is really worth melt if genuine. If the weight is off, then you will know right away that it is fake.

 

Cool cool. Well, I'm going to a coin shop tomorrow after work and I'm going to have them check out the coins and get their opinion on whether or not any should be graded which is what I should have done in the first place. lol.

I'll let you guys know the results tomorrow.

 

Perhaps, but I have no way of knowing from the images if it's made of gold or not.

 

Question.

What do you guys think?

 

That flyer looks "too" good.

My advice: I think you need to have the coins inspected in-hand by a professional. I would take them to a few local coin stores and show them the coins, tell them you're concerned with their authenticity, and after they give you a thumbs up or thumbs down, ask them how much they would pay for them (but don't sell, you're only information gathering at this point).

I suspect Mr. Feld's first concern is correct, and I hope we're 100% wrong...Mike

 

The flying cent seems too good to be true?

 

Update:

the 1906S was around a 58 in the dealers opinion. Lightly circulated.

The Morgans were all probably cleaned with a baking soda sollution or something.

The Morgan carson city was mint though.

Anywho, fun to know.

 

1857 Flying Eagle

This coin or photo looks too good to be a real coin, although I am not qualified to be a judge of that. My comment is that the wording appears to be a large letter stamping (Ref; the A M in America.) Only problem is; the Red Book only refers to a small & large letter stamping for a 1858 coin. Not a 1857. Ummm ?

 

I found the receipt for it. He bought it from a coin store not a person which doesn't mean much, but when added to the fact that I found a rare coin store and the guy looked it for a little bit and said it was most likely authentic, I feel pretty safe.
