How bad is my wife gonna kill me? 1914 $2.5 + 1909-D $5

Need help defending myself boys. I set out for some raw jewelry pieces and somehow ended up here.

Hope I did alright? Melt + $250 between the two. They look alright.




Wear em? Grade em? ....eat em?

    Nice gold Indians... my favorites in gold...Have them graded, too nice for jewelry and no nutritional value. ;) Cheers, RickO

    those look free from any evidence of a mount(s) and nice but that's coming from a non-expert on a design that can be hard to grade. the 1909 does seem to have something at the rim, obv. near the "E" of Liberty. the 1914 looks XF, the 1909-D looks AU.

    I don't have much Gold but I've been waiting about 10-15 years for the spot price to lower so I can buy some of the $2 1/2's, this design really appeals to me.

    --- forgot to add that what she doesn't know shouldn't hurt(you).

    They look decent and should be slabbed for not only the grades but for authentication purposes.

    Nice coins. No need to grade them, but I wouldn't put them in jewelry either.

    What your wife don't know, won't hurt you. :D

    Haha in reality we have a very healthy financial relationship. She has her business and I guess now technically also runs part of mine ;-)

    You did really well. If those are x jewelry pieces go back and buy the rest of em

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Perhaps a modified receipt will help. I had a couple of long arms slip under the radar years back.

    So here they are.

    I guess I need to look in the "raw" section more. It didn't even cross my mind they might be in NNC slabs.

    My sight-unseen $3 came, too.

    And to think, I was gonna buy an ounce of gold that morning but went for coins instead.

    It's absolutely UNREAL how nice these coins are.

    I use the argument "at least I can get most of my money back if I sell them" unlike other things purchased from place like Amazon.

    You have roughly a month to get them crossed into PCGS slabs and sell them, so I'd go express send them in raw and hope for the best, get top dollar and share the good news with your life partner!
