Someone at my work is stuck as executor in a contentious inheritance which involved a “valuable” coin collection. I asked her to send me the best pics possible it’s mostly foreign coins likely collected in travels, some circulated silver and a bunch of newer change I recommended they spend . These are their pics of the gold. If the dollar is real is it worth certification or just get better pics and sell on BST/eBay? I have no clue on the tokens would guess they’re not authentic from the rest of the collection. Thanks for your help

The regular 1852 gold dollar looks authentic and I would have it graded- clearly a better than average MS example. It is relatively common date... But it is attractive.
The 1853 California gold dollar looks to be BG530 and I think it looks good too. Not overly rare but these can be a challenge to grade. I would submit this one too. Looks to be in the low AU range depending on the surfaces and potential hairlines from light circulation.
The other one looks okay but the reverse image looks a little rough for me to give a definitive answer one way or the other. Not sure of the BG number without looking at a reference. It could be worth submitting as well. I like them
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
The gold Dollar looks genuine 👍
All look OK in the images.
I will agree with the others... the gold coins are worth submitting for authentication and grade. Please let us know the results...Cheers, RickO
