Branch mint G$1 is tough. I leave it to the experts.
Edited to add: What I'm seeing as central wear on the dollar could also be poor strike. To tell, I'd want to see it in good light with a loupe.
<< <i>Detail-wise I'd say AU50 on the dollar and AU53 on the Indian. Both photos are over-exposed and neither coin shows any luster. Something about them looks "off" to me from the photos. They might have been polished, but it might just be the photos.

I think you both hit it correctly. The lighting is too bright & over exposed. The grades seem right.
The dollar is known to have a poor strike on the central details, specifically the "85" and the "LLA".
The lower stars also are usually flat, but these don't seem too bad.

<< <i>The photos are badly overexposed making grading from them impossible. Overexposed photos tend to hide defects. >>
Agree. Lousy pics for grading. They both look about mid-AU.

<< <i>The sharpness grades appear to be AU or even lower end Mint State, but the pictures are so over exposed that you can't make out what the "skin" of those pieces is like. Are they original or have they been dipped or cleaned? There is no way to know from the photos. >>
These images are from a friend that has about 11 gold coins and I'm trying to assist him by providing
information about them. He has had the coins in his family for nearly 80-100 years and they've never
been cleaned, or dipped.
I apologize for the images. He will provide me with some better ones soon.
To those who have responded, thank you for you help.

I see nothing in the pic that would lead me to believe it's a counterfeit.

The letters of "United States of America" and "Ten Dollars" are too thin.

Based on my comparison to OP's coin with CoinFacts pic, I don't see it.

This image is from CoinFacts.

I would not want to say on the $10 without seeing a better picture, but nothing in this picture condemns it.
