They are actually medallions not coins. Do you know what material they are made of? Brass, gold? Does the Grant Wood reverse look like this?
These are 1 oz, 90% gold medallions sold by the U.S. Mint to compete with the Krugerrand and other bullion offerings at the time. A quick check of eBay shows listings slightly over the spot price for gold ($1417/oz as I type this); slightly higher for those graded by third party services.
