1909 Indian Head 2.5 Dollar Gold- what do you think? Any guesses on grade please? Would you get it graded? Thanks. 1909 Gold Indian Head 2.5 Dollar
Difficult to judge luster from the photo, but I'd say it's about AU53. If you're planning to sell the coin, grading might help as the potential buyer would be better assured as to the authenticity of the coin. Getting a single coin graded isn't very cheap though, so if you're planning on keeping the coin for awhile and aren't concerned about the authenticity of the coin, keeping it as is may be the way to go, unless you have some other reason you wanted it certified. Nice coin!
Wear visible on the eagle's shoulder and the indian's floral headband. Luster looks muted. I'd say it's an XF, possibly AU. Honestly, I'd have to see the coin in-hand to pin it with a numerical grade. -Brian
