[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 24661113, member: 101855"]I might be wrong, but I think that both of the gold pieces have been cleaned with an abrasive.

Here is an 1886-S $5 gold coin in Choice Mint State that is from the same era as the 1882 $5 gold. These are really nice, Mint State surfaces. [ATTACH=full]1572101[/ATTACH] Here is a lightly circulated 1914-D quarter eagle. Note the sort of "busy lines" that are on the surfaces of your coin. The good news is I think both pieces are genuine.
