Which coin do you prefer? And your grade estimates?

jwitten · October 1, 2018 6:35PM

If you got to keep one coin, which would you choose? And what would you grade each one? I took a few pictures of each coin with different cameras and different light to try to show everything.

Coin One:

Coins Two:

Pics of both together:

I don’t guess grades but, I sure wouldn’t mind a stack of those

Smudge · October 1, 2018 7:12PM

1 64, #2 63. Both are wonderful, but I like the deeper color of #2. Tough choice. Sell some bullion and keep both.

Smudge · October 1, 2018 7:13PM

Why am I yelling?

BryceM · October 1, 2018 7:17PM

Are they authentic? How do you know?

Catbert · October 1, 2018 7:20PM

I think I’d keep coin 1 because coin 2 has the right obverse field hits (even though small). Don’t know how to grade these but they appear about the same to me in wear.

Timbuk3 · October 1, 2018 7:27PM

Sorry, I like both of them !!!

You started your sentence off with the "#" symbol.

Both are nice looking coins and I'm not sure which I would chose, without seeing them in hand.

obviously you need a full Wnuck stack of these

No .... you have a beautiful masculine voice

Paradisefound · October 1, 2018 8:23PM

I like the first one....not too crazy on 'coopery reddish hue / tone

I like both!

DMWJR · October 1, 2018 8:51PM

coin 1

Bullsitter · October 1, 2018 8:55PM

I like #2 the best, MS63.

jwitten · October 1, 2018 9:05PM

I think I am leaning towards liking number two the best, mainly because of the color. It has a small scratch on the right obverse, but it is hardly noticeable in hand. I'm not good enough at grading these to know if one is overall in better condition though.

ricko · October 2, 2018 6:01AM

Tough choice since I like all gold coins and those are very close... If forced to choose (such as you will give me the one I like ), I would pick number one....Grades may be 64, 63... or maybe 64, 64.... Cheers, RickO

Are those Omega coins?

Yep! Sent both in to get slabbed, but they obviously will not have a grade. So I'm trying to decide which to keep... or maybe I will just keep both!

asheland · October 2, 2018 9:43AM

They have nice color!
(which I am starting to really appreciate on gold coins lately)

If they're counterfeits they won't be put in slabs at all.

asheland · October 2, 2018 9:47AM

I think ICG does... (But clearly labels it as such)

ICG does, which is where I am sending them.

asheland · October 2, 2018 9:56AM

That's exactly what I would do if I was keeping them.

Type2 · October 2, 2018 9:56AM

Yes they're counterfeits but I like #2

asheland · October 2, 2018 10:37AM

I guess coin one if I had to choose...

zas107 · October 2, 2018 11:15AM

They both appear to be counterfeits.

How in the world did you get them to STACK?

That's supposed to be impossible. I suspect trickery.

They stacked pretty well really. There was a thread not long ago with a guy that had 3 real ones, I think, and he stacked his with no problem too.

topstuf · October 2, 2018 12:00PM

If Saint-Gaudens were wise, he would have designed a HOLE in them.
Then they could be stacked ...OR... strung.

What are these worth? They both look lightly cleaned.

Good question. I can tell you what I paid, but finding sales history for omegas has been tricky. Both have been very very lightly been wiped, but I've been told they would straight grade if they were genuine.
