    These pieces have been heavily counterfeited for many years. Some of the counterfeits are gold while others are not. These images do not allow verification.

    Well one my grandmother had found in her change...(just like the baseball cards in the attic right!) seriously!! The other my dada bought back in the 70's at a coin shop. How can you tell if they are real?

    Hi,
    I'm not an expert my any means but I just got 10 of them back from NGC.
    3 were marked cleaned, 1 had scratch and 1 was from jewelry.
    the other 5 were from au58-ms61.
    one was a 1988 1/10th came back ms69....(that's good for that coin)
    the ms61 was a 1914.....could not happen to better coin for me money wise.
    But they looked for wear on cheek, feathers had to have all lines and on rev top of bird wing...all these spots are key to getting good grades.
    I know i will never buy un-slabbed on ebay again. A couple of mine taught me my lesson.
    also your pics r 2 small to c what is needed to help u get any grading help...
    That's my 2Cents worth

    I am usually in the card forum, but since our flood image I have been throwing out my cards, and airing out my dad's coins. I guess, just like the cards, condition is key. i will post osme bigger scans aftre

    RipublicaninMas, if the pieces are genuine (which as already mentioned, we can't tell from the images) and circulated, they are probably worth approximately $175 each.

    While the 1911 D quarter eagle was heavily counterfeited, and most gold was, the coins pictured look to be mint state and the one in the 2x2 looks about xf. I don't know the values. Send them in and get them authenticated by PCGS, that would be my suggestion. Do not offer raw ! If you do, offer it to me.

    He should be able to find out of they are genuine and worth submitting for grading, BEFORE spending $ on grading fees. He just shouldn't ask a co-worker.image

    The one on the left looks polished.
