I would say...

if your buying on ebay, askseller , if they say they don't know, then don't bid. Hard to tell by the pic, but looks like a couple are fake? my apology if the your coins are authentic. ozarktravler

 

there is no way to tell if they are real or fake from those pictures.

 

it is not from ebay - which one are fake?
how do you tell?

 

if you can, try to get some better pictures of both sides of each coin. Then some of the more experienced members may be able to help

 

The 1799 dollar is an obvious fake. Compare it to the genuine example below.

The Trade Dollar looks suspect. The Peace dollar and the Ike look genuine. The Gobrecht-looking coin does not have a date so it would not be a US Mint issue coin. It is impossible to deteremine if the others are genuine or not fomr these photos.

Were these coins bought as a lot? Where did you buy them?

 

I got them from a small auction site in central Europe.
I have the winning bit for $80 but I did not pay yet.
Somehow I knew that they key coins are fake.

 

Yeah, I'm afraid you got ripped.

 

Yea i have to agree that some of those are fake even i can tell and im only a young collector

 

as soon as i saw the "gobrecht" i immediately placed every coin under suspicion ..just immediately assumed all are replicas or blatant fakes exept maybe the peace dollar, but i really didn't even bother to look at it. the ike is probably real...if you are considering buying..i wouldn't pay more than ten bucks and they have to pay postage!!

 

These look just like the replica coins I just bought. I got fifteen for $ 20.00. The person who sold them made no qualms about letting me know that these were not real coins. I could pretty much tell by the looks & color that the coins were not silver. I think if you applied a magnet to the coin it will reveal that they are steel coins. My wife thought I was cracy to purchase these valueless tokens, but I am a collector and the uniqueness is enough for me.

 

I beg to differ. Some of them, such as the Gobrecht and Bust Dollars, are unquestionably counterfeit.

 

I guess you didn't take the time to look at the Reeded Edge 1799 DBD? That is truly a rare coin! :mouth: Sometimes you don't need detailed pics to spot a fake, just a little bit of knowledge.

One thing i've already noticed in my very short coin collecting career is that if something seems way too good to be true than it is. For example, I don't think anyone will ever pay $80 for a lot of silver dollars that includes a coin worth at least $800.

 

thank you for your help

 

hard to tell from the pics. but here is a pic of a real 1799

Hard to tell?
The Pease $ and the Ike MAY be real, otherwise?

As real as Hillary's sincerity.

 

You can always grab a magnet if it grabs hold of the coin you know you have fakes. They could still be white copper so its not a gauaranteed way to tell but it is a good start.

 

don't buy from china ebay sellers

 

If you have to ask...
