Wow, that is a beautiful coin.

All I can say is hold on to them, and do some research. The coin you have is a $5 Indian Head Half Eagle. Looking the coin up on ebay just doing a quick search those coins are on auction for $350 for a single coin, and the auction hasn't ended yet!

There isn't a real good answer to your question. Everything depends on condition, the price of gold, and the market. The best thing to do would be to bring a few to at least two coin shops and have them take a look at them. That should give you some sort of an idea. Try to go to at least two though, not everyone is as honest as you are :wink: Good luck, your dad left you a nice little chunk of change.

Have you weighed the coins to make sure the are genuine 1915 gold coins? It is very strange he would have 50 of the same date, and many gold plated copies have been minted over the years privately. Clearer pictures would help, do you have a "macro" or "ditigal zoom" option on your camera<

Take them to a few coin dealers to see if they're genuine or not. If they are, they could be worth QUITE a bit of money.

I'm going to have to say they are most likely fake. Why would he have 50 of the same gold coin?

Definately have them checked out.

I hope they're not 1915D. The Red Book says something about these being counterfeit.
The mintmark is on the reverse, to the left of the platform the eagle is perched on.
