<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ike Skywalker, post: 7285688, member: 82381&quot;]My Dad divided his coin collection between my brother and I in 2011, but he couldn&#039;t locate a certain group of classic gold coins at the time. Over the past 10 years, he came to the conclusion that they were just lost. Fortunately, he found them just the other day in his safe. They were in a very small box, buried under other stuff. He doesn&#039;t remember them being in a box, but there they were. He purchased them in the 1970s. I would like your opinions on these mainly in regards to original vs. cleaned surfaces. I know a cleaned silver coin when I see it, but gold is another matter for me. I&#039;m pretty certain that the 1893 $10 eagle has been cleaned as well as the 1881 #3 coin. I have included the weight for each coin in grams. I appreciate any feedback on these. Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>ALSO: Is the S mintmark on the 1901-S an RPM? S/S?</p><p><br /></p><p><b>1893 $10 Gold - 16.71 grams</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1275807[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1275808[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><b>1925-? $2.5 Quarter Gold Eagle - 7.28 grams with bezel</b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1275814[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1275815[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>1901-S $5 Gold Half Eagle - 8.34 grams</b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1275817[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1275818[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>1880 $5 half eagle - 8.34 grams</b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1275819[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1275820[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>1881 $5 Gold Half Eagle #1 - 8.35 grams</b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1275821[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1275824[/ATTACH]</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
