Your grade opinions are very much needed and appreciated.
Thanks,

The 1911, looks to be AU55-58.
The 1912, looks to be AU58-MS62.
The 1925-D looks to be around AU50-55. (The eagle's feathers have a little wear)
Can't really get better than this without seeing them in hand. Gold Indians are one of the toughest series to grade in hand let alone from a photo.

1912 AU58

I realize there are some very good fakes out there. Especially $10 Indians.
I'm thinking these are high end AU coins.

Indian $2.50 and $5.00 are quite difficult to grade generally.
Therefore Indian $2.50 are particularly impossible to grade from images !!
There is no way to determine AU vs MS from images ... it's all a question of whether the luster is intact, which can only be evaluated by carefully tilting the coin under a suitable light source and checking the reflectivity and surface texture in all areas.

I beg to differ as I bet you'd find 25+ fake $2 1/2 Indians for every 1 $10 Indian fake.

That would be my guess too but it's hard to tell from the pics if they've been cleaned or messed with in some way.

Agree. The $2 1/2 Indians are far more prevalent.

Yes, I agree with you, there are more $2.5 fakes than $10's.
What I meant was I find the $10 Indian fakes better quality than the $2.50 Indians.

That's more like it. Yeah many of the quarter eagle fakes can be spotted a mile away. I still have trouble with the eagles. I have two fakes, I will see if I can take photo's sometime next week.
For now here is a nice rustic 1913 quarter eagle.

Like all fakes, the quality varies depending on the source. Some are laughably crude while others are so good they are scary. Most are somewhere in between.
