I'm about to make my biggest purchase of the year!
But I need your help.
I love gold coins from the USA but I do not know much about them, i new to the USA COINS!
I would like to know what would be the status of both coins, best photos unfortunately I do not have .. What would be the value of each one?
Do not want to be fooled and buy for an absurdly high price!

Going to be tough to give an honest opinion with those pictures.
Melt gold is $585.00.
VF condition around $900.
You would be safe at $700ea if they check out to be legit gold.
It might just be weird (bad) pictures, but those look iffy to me
I cant get more photo saddly
I assume you can't get them in hand either.
Ask the seller for better pictures.
Maybe on a scale showing weight.
This always reminds me of buying diamonds from pictures from across the country.
If these are your "purchases of the year," and you need advice here....I suggest passing on both. You can effectively buy these coins (or nicer) in PCGS/NGC holders to ensure authenticity, grade, and not coins with severe problems like a cleaning or putty job. These look like AUish coins. Can't say if they're authentic based on those photos.
Your best value in the $10 Lib/Indian right now are slabbed MS63-64's in the $700-$1050 range eacg. The small premiums over raw AU's makes it worth buying the mint state slabs. The 63's are the best bang for the buck vs. actual intrinsic metal value.
If you're on a budget then PCGS MS62 examples of each could be obtained for $1350 total. Raw jewelry/polished/mounted pieces would run $1225.
I agree with roadrunner. Do not buy these especially if you have no experience and can't see them in person. There are plenty of these in almost uncirculated for $700 each now at reputable gold dealers.
If you want a nicer one uncirculated in a slab consider MS63 for maybe 900-1000. Be careful of MS61 and 62 as there are a lot of really bad looking ones out there now on eBay. Watch out for what look like lower priced bids that may have 18% extra buyer fees on them, if you are not fully aware what that means ahead of time.

The 63's have been crushed in price such that you can get nice ones at $750 for Libs and $850 for Indians....probably stickered too.
i suggest looking at a lot of $10 pieces before making a purchase. also, read some books on the subject. the https://amazon.com/Collectors-Survival-Manual-Revised-Seventh/dp/0375723390/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1499612880&sr=1-1&refinements=p_27%3AScott+A.+Travers
is a great start.
Can't tell from the pictures but there are a lot of fake $10 Indians out there. If you really want to own US gold and don't have a lot of experience buy it slabbed.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
Please, listen to roadrunner's advice. There are LOADS of these already certified.

Enough said.....do not buy raw U.S. gold coins.....PCGS/NGC /ANACS/ICG only.
Premiums over melt are near historic lows on those. Definitely a buyers market.
Definitely listen to roadrunners advice.... and stick to slabbed gold... Gold coins, raw, are not for beginners. Cheers, RickO
