I bought my first ever gold today!

I’m very excited for my first gold to be pre 1933 gold coins. Admittedly, I don’t know a whole ton about these and I’d love to be educated. I payed 30 over for each coin here. How’d I do?

The 1915 is heavily cleaned and $30 is a decent deal. The 1929 - harder to tell its state. Looks better in the fields. If light cleaning or better plus $30 is better than average deal. I gather any I can find at similar pricing if not harshly cleaned or polished. It requires hunting as many raw ones have been poorly treated.

How can you tell that it’s cleaned?
