<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 689706, member: 18157&quot;]OK...undamaged coins. From your description (no picture) I would guess they&#039;re around EF-40. Since someone decided to make earrings out of them, I&#039;m guessing they&#039;re the high mintage 1853P (4,076,051). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Uncirculated gold content is 0.04837 ounces (times 2)...or almost $97 with gold at $1000/Oz. With a little wear on them...$90 may represent the bullion price.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>PCGS Price Guide list the 1853 EF-40 at $265 each. That&#039;s for a graded, encapsulated coin. Yours...if they&#039;re undamaged EF-40s would retail for a bit less than that...I&#039;m guessing around $200-$225 each.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That&#039;s retail...you may get close to that on eBay, but not from a dealer. I haven&#039;t sold coins to a dealer in years...I have no idea what a dealer would offer today (used to be about 50% of retail).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Personally, if I had them and wanted to sell, I would be satisfied with anything over $200 each...that still may be a bit on the high side. My gut feeling it may be closer to $150 each.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If 100 people read this post, I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll get 101 opinions. This is mine.</p><p>Hope it helps...:thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
