Bermuda gold and silver triangles

Hi,
This is my first time posting on this forum. I was hoping that someone with more knowledge than I of these type of coins could help me out.
I have a 1 ounce gold 1998 triangle and one each in gold of the half ounce from 1996, and 1997. I have 5 one ounce 1997 coins in silver, and two which I believe are one tenth ounce gold from 1996.
I see no listing from PCGS to get coin numbers to have them certified. Does PCGS certify this type of coin, or would another Grading service be preferable?
The silver coins seem to be getting a little haze/toning along the outside edges. I believe this may come from the packacging that it is in, (Some sort of black foam inside a plastic snap together). Is there any way to remove this toning without impairing the proof finish, or should it just be left alone? The coloration is along the outside edges and not too much of a distraction at this point.
The other thing I would ask is I see no value listing for these on PCGS, could someone please give me some idea of a range of value for these coins.
Thank you very much,
Jeff Zugmier

    1998 60 dollars is KM #114, .999 gold/1.0111 oz. Mintage est. 1,500. Catalogs $750.00.



    << <i>...and one each in gold of the half ounce from 1996, and 1997 >>

    1996 30 dollars is KM #97, .999 gold/.5000 oz. Mintage est. 1,500. Catalogs $400.00. 1997 30 dollars is KM #101, with the same standards, mintage and value.

    Not sure what you mean by this, as I don't see any one-ounce pieces listed. There is a 3-dollar coin from 1997 with .6022 oz?



    << <i>...and two which I believe are one tenth ounce gold from 1996... >>

    In the triangular shape? You've got me there. I see some $10 pieces that are about 1/10 oz. of gold but no triangles and none from 1996. Of course, you never know with the 2006 Krause I am using. They are bad about omitting stuff (and even if they do list some things, I am bad about overlooking it).

    The triangles are cool. Will PCGS slab them? I don't know. I think so, but they might look funny in round inserts.

    Thank you for the information.
    You are correct on the silver being the three dollar denomation, I just made the assumption that they were one ounce.

    The 1996 is the ten dollar denomination and is in the triangular shape.

    Thanks again,
    Jeff

    NGC slabs the triangle Bermuda coins. I'm not sure about PCGS.

    1997 silver proof $3 is KM #99, .925 Silver/.6022 oz. Mintage est. 6,500, catalogs $50.00 (2006).

    Are you sure? I still don't see a 1996 $10, let alone a triangle in that denomination? image

    The gold $10 all seem to be smaller round coins?
