I uploaded pics of all 20 coins with weight; thank you for your help @gxseries @Siberian Man

 

Nothing stands out to be a counterfeit. The edge looks to be typical of such coins.

These are beautiful coins - the photos are a bit blurry to misrepresent it. Would highly recommend checking out some photography forum for tips. Would use the super macro function on your camera if you got it, otherwise use the macro function. Use decent lighting - your table lamp can do a decent job. Finally, if you don't have steady hands or a camera stand, use the timer and hold it still!

 

I took the pics in a hurry using an older camera, sorry for bad quality. Usually my pics are much nicer. So you think the weight tolerance is fine? It seems way too much 0.5 grams is almost 4% off. I have never seen that much of a difference. I just weighed my pocket change and is all within 0.05 grams of normal weight.

I also have these

 

What do you think of fake ones on ebay shown in first pic? Also proof and look the same.

 

The bimetal coins look good as well to me. Sovietski has definitely marketed such a set before. This is now easily a 300 dollar set. The 1994 gazelle being a key date coin for unknown reasons despite having similar mintage figure with other 1994 coins.

This is an example of counterfeited set. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RED-DATA-BO...284132?hash=item3d314004a4:g:amUAAOSwImRYfBuM

Been discussed here in the forum previously.

 

Yes, the bimetals look real, everything else fake.

 

What makes you think that? Could you explain why the 3 rouble coins are fake?
