The TPGs can also change their policies. If memory serves, there was a time that neither PCGS nor NGC would slab a chop marked coin because chop...
I would think the reason would be obvious.
OK - then weigh the 2 gold coins and tell us what they weigh. And if you do not have a scale to weigh them, then take them to a jewelry store and...
