Gold coin question

I was recently going through a box and came across two coins that were left to me by my grandparents. I've been doing some research on them around, but like most information found on the internet...I don't rely on it too much. Would anyone be able to tell me about looking into grading it? I looked at pcgs.com and I am assuming that most grading will be done by shipping the coins (something I am a little hesitant about).
I've taken some pictures of the front & back of the coins, sorry it's not the best. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Look for a reputable coin shop near you and ask them their opinion. Then take it to another. And another.
grading is very subjective.
If you want to keep the coin buy a nice intercept shield holder and enjoy.
if you want to sell get it graded by PCGS(highest resale value for plastic tombs)
Looks like a very nice coin, by the way!

Are both of the coins 1908 ?
Just ask for an estimate on this 08 No Motto Saint and see what they say.....
Those $20 gold coins are often referenced as "saints" just so you sound like you know what you have.....

yes, they are exactly the same.
