In general, subtract one grade.....Did you acquire these coins? Or just a general question? Cheers, RickO
Not any I bid on, hard to know what would cross: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=gold&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=11116&LH_Sold=1&_mPrRngCbx=1&_udlo=1000&_udhi=10000&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=06840&_sargn=-1&saslc=1&_salic=1&_fss=1&_fsradio=&LH_SpecificSeller=1&_saslop=1&_sasl=centsles&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=200&LH_Complete=1&_fosrp=1
The 70+73 are nowhere near MS. I would be careful with those.
You really should ask opinions for each coin one at a time. It makes it easier to examine each coin in detail.
Luster is a big deal when one is grading these coins. Some of your photos show the luster pretty well; others don’t.
For what it’s worth, here are my guesses:
1894 $5 gold MS-65
1857 $10 MS-63, but luster is the key. The coin looks dull in the photo. If dull, MS-64 is too high
1870-S $20 AU-55
1873-S $20 AU-53
1899 $20 looks like MS-64, but there might be putty on the obverse. This concerns me for all of others because of the odd color in photos.
1906-S $20 MS-63+
The next three, MS-64
1915 $20 I don’t like the lack of detail on the eagle’s breast feathers. All the rest looks Unc. I would not buy that coin from that photo.
Centles pictures are too terrible to grade from, honestly.
The first one looks like a 65 and nice, too!
