Thanks all - I really appreciate it.
Does anyone know of any reliable jewelers who I could bring these to to test the gold AND get the total weight in gold?
Would any jeweler be able to do this?

Any of the above places can test it for you.
But you would not go by the total weight. The coins are 90% gold, the bezels and chains are more than likely 10k (41.7%) or 14k (58.3%) gold. You would factor the bezels separately from the coins.
I can tell you the coins weigh 4.18 grams each and only 90% of that is gold.
4.18 X 2 = 8.36 total grams
8.36 X .9 (amount of gold content) = 7.524 grams of actual gold
Based on this gold estimator, with gold @ $1920 per ounce, you're looking at $418 in melt value (not including the bezels). But, as someone already stated, these are worth more than melt value assuming the coins are ok.
