I'd very much appreciate a ball park grade of my Double Eagle. I have 2 Doubles Eagles and 1 Half

Eagle, Would it be advisable to have these graded by PCGS?

    Sending it into CAC for their opinion and having them think it's PQ (premium quality).

    64, big rim ding reverse 12 o'clock keeps it from 65. the CAC sticker comes from another party after grading and if awarded adds value to coin.

    The only way to make an economic system truly stable is to permit the free market to take over.

    That rim damage at 12:00 on the reverse may keep it from being graded.

    TPG grading wont do anything plus or minus for the Saint.


    (whats the price of gold these days?)

    I agree.

    What a vivid reverse. Those feathers really jump out at you. Didnt even notice the rim ding at first glance.

    You ask and therefore.....

    The first Saint pictured was mounted in a band for a necklace...Italians, what are you going to do? The mark on Lady Libertys right thigh looks much worse in pictures than to the eye.
    The second Saint was in an old school screw together holder.
    The half Eagle was in an old school screw together holder as well.

    Since they are circulated and are ex-jewelry coins, they are not worth the expense of slabbing and some or all may not even be graded. However, they all appear to be authentic which is the most important consideration.

    Only the fisr Saint in my second post with pics was jewely mounted. The others were in screw together slabs.

    What I have done with some of my gold coinage is send them out for grading. It's cheap insurance and peace of mind with authenticity issues. It helps when you ever want to sell. It also keeps the coin protected.

    That indian looks pretty good,not a lot of damage.

    Those are good looking saints. But i do not think MS 64 like the other poster had suggested due to the chip in the rim
