Gold Coins

Wasy

I'm not a coin guy so I could use some help here.
I have three gold coins, 1911 $2.5 Gold Indian, 1886-S $5 Gold Half Eagle and a 1904 $20 Gold Double Eagle. I would speculate that all of these coins are in very good condition but who am I to say, like I said I'm not a coin guy. My question is what is the rough value ungraded and should I decide to sell them what grading service(s) is best to use?

Thanks!!!

Alan, can you post images here? That would help us provide better information to you.

Edited to add: You might consider changing/editing your thread title to something like "Looking for values on a few US gold coins" to let people better know what you're trying to find out.

Wasy, there is a HUGE spread in prices for each of the coins you mentioned, depending on the grade or condition the coins are in. Some idea of grade or at least a picture of each coin, both sides, would help in valuing them. In general, I recommend having all gold coins certified before selling them, as they will in general sell for more when certified because the buyers know the coins are genuine.
