1893 Liberty Head

[VanArippa]

Hello everyone,

Is this worth getting graded as it looks like it could have been cleaned?

Also, are these holders ok? they were advertised for Eagles but don't quite fit. 

Thanks everyone

That was a very stupid question. I'm new. I apologize.

Nothing wrong with airtites. It's not as if the gold is going to tarnish much. Looks well worn, so I don't imagine it would grade very high--but any $10 gold piece is worth a good deal just for showing up, and that issue seems slightly less common than average. Depends what it would cost whether it would be worth slabbing.

Inherited some coins recently and not sure what to do as far as preservation or possibly getting some graded?

Well, for starters, don't touch them with bare skin or clean them. You'd have to tell us what you have. If you do not know what you have, please post sharp obverse and reverse photos, with associated questions, and we will tell you what we think of them. You may get varying opinions.

Is there a mint mark on the reverse underneath the eagle?

 I wouldnt say this is cleaned, just worn. I would say its not worth grading. these are fairly common gold coins. 

[VanArippa]

Yes these are very common. If its not a unique date/ mint mark/ etc. Its probably not worth grading in your opinion?

No its not worth grading. For and giggles can you post a picture of the reverse?

[VanArippa]

If I find any quarters I'll let you know.

It looks like it has been cleaned but also has a lot of good honest wear.  It's grade is no more than Fine, I would not slab it.

[VanArippa]

Thanks Mokiechan. Anyone know the value of these ok condition 20 dollar pieces? $1290 a piece?
