    Do you think this lot is worth it?

    Hello all,
    I have been recently browsing ebay for coins (as usual)
    I noticed this one: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/261020584352?...84.m1438.l2649
    I was looking at picture 4 (or 5 same thing) especially.
    What do you think total value of the lot should be or at least your opinion
    Bearing in mind the 3 morgans, Trade Dollars, what looks like 2 American Eagles ETC ETC
    I also see 2 1797 Dollars but they seem to be fake by the guys weight of the coins in the description
    So far I`m 99% sure I`m going to put in a bid, but you`re the experts Click here to enlarge

    Thanks in advance!

    Am I seeing it wrong, or Ike, Morgan and Washington quater are all the same size? And whats "indian head,17,70 grams,38mm"?

    There is also a Polish coin, which supposed to be small, yet it seems to be same size as Morgan dollar next to it. I got the feeling you will be bidding on tokens that look like US silver dollars.

    Actually the Polish coin is supposed to be 37mm (at least according to Krause), yes I can see the Quarter and "Indian Head Dollar" are tokens.
    Also thos walking liberties I think are the American Eagle Bullion not the half dollar you might be thinking of?
    But other than that what would you think?

    I'd say, you have 4 days, perhaps ask for close up photos of each coin before you potentially lose some money.

    I would almost certainly bet that the US silver dollar coins are fake, fake, and faker than fake...

    I'd guess they're all fakes. The seller also said "....
    Big coins;not silver only plated."

    Wow, shows how good I am at reading the description...
    Thanks for pointing that out!
    It would also explain the weight in the coins being too light.
    Thank you all for your help!

    Most (if not all) the coins in Photo #4 are fake.
