<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ana Silverbell, post: 6611328, member: 75156&quot;]All three are beautiful coins but I would not grade them. I would put them in airtites at a cost of ~ 50 cents per airtite. The cost of slabbing will not likely give you a return if you were to sell them and you will lose the enjoyment raw coins provide over slabbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prices from NumisMedia - <a href="http://numismedia.com/rarecoinprices/fmv.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismedia.com/rarecoinprices/fmv.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://numismedia.com/rarecoinprices/fmv.shtml</a> -revealed the following estimated values:</p><p><br /></p><p>St. Gaudens 1914-s: AU58 $2,280; MS60 $2,300; MS64 $2,610.</p><p>$5 1897 Gold: AU55/AU58 $650; MS60 $660; MS63 $730.</p><p>Double Eagle 1898-s: AU58 $2,290; MS61 $2,320; MS63 $2,750.</p><p><br /></p><p>I grade your coins as AU, with the St. Gauden&#039;s and Double Eagle being possible borderline MS; however, you can see that even as you get to mid-range MS, none of them jump much in value. I do not see any of the coins being high MS.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, why the above quote from jeffB after this longwinded post on why not to slab them? If I were to slab them, I would follow jeffB&#039;s advice and use ICG at $10/coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
