    If they are genuine then they are all 90% silver, not pure silver. They also appear to be circulated and polished up mightily. However, given the 1795 "dollar" from the other post, I am not convinced these are real.

    Can't really tell from these pics but something about your commemoratives makes me think Chinese fakes made recently .
    How long have you had these ? Did you buy them from the internet in the past couple of years . Wish you could post better pics . Hope I'm wrong , but better pics would help immensely .

    They all look off...might be the lighting or the pics. They do look polished.

    I doubt the first 2 are fakes though you never know since everything is faked now...but they are much less likely to be fakes than the Pan-Pac is just because of its value and the fact that there are some fakes around. I don't know the Sesqui too well, but the Pilgrim looks fine from what I can tell.

    Something does look off with the commemoratives. Barber I'm sure is OK.

    If any of them are magnetic, they're certainly fake :)

    The Sesqui and the 1920 Pilgrim are basically equals in all grades. The 1921 Pilgrim is more rare.

    The Pan-Pac is more valuable than the other 3 combined...as stated...if it is real. There is something that seems off but without a more detailed picture we can't be sure.

    I would strongly suggest not buying expensive commemoratives online with photos like that. It's like gambling.

    Number1 - Panama Pacific
    Number2 - Pilgrim (Equal Price) More Rare than Independence.

    I agree. And what's going on with the Barber's reverse?

    I don't like the rim either.
