Question
I am interested in estimating the potential of two gold coins.
Coin #1 - 1906 Lady Liberty on one side / Eagle and United States of America / 2 1/2 D on the opposite side.
Coin #2 - 1913 Indian Head with Liberty on one side / Eagle with E Pluribus Unum / In God We Trust / United States of America / 2 1/2 Dollars on the opposite side.

Answer
Hi Rob,
Without seeing the coins, it's hard.  If they are in avg circulated condition, they are worth between $175 and $250.  In mint condition, that value rises to between $300 and up.  If they are gems, they are worth well over $1,000 each.
