Margarita Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Hi. I need help. I have such coin: Did I recognise well that it's gold Double Eagle 1905-S? Is it it's full name? Google shows some different signs after some coin's names - e.g. XF/AU or PCGS --> what does it mean? How much is such coin worth? Thanks for help!

jtryka Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Welcome to Coinpeople! The coin is a 1905-S $20 gold (double eagle), this is the more common of the 2 issued that year. XF/AU are grades, XF=Extra Fine, AU=About Uncirculated. PCGS is the Professional Coin Grading Service, which independently grades and certifies the authenticity of coins. This coin looks to be a nice uncirculated coin, so it could be worth up to $1,700 but it contains 0.9675 troy ounce of pure gold so the melt value is about $1,163. There are a number of counterfeit coins around, so these values depend on whether the coin is genuine. I don't see anything that leads me to believe it's not genuine, but you can't be sure with only photos. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
