    Unless for metal content, if these do indeed contain precious metals, your coins are fakes...pretty bad fakes at that.

    He is saying they are fake because it's blatantly obvious that they are.. they look like cartoons of the coins they try to replicate. Your Morgan dollar looks like a chick that has had one to many Big Macs...

    I don't think these were intended to be passed off as fakes; I think they were created as novelty items. They are all the same size and are oversized. Maybe around 3-4 inches each???

    What a unique metal detecting find. So in answering your original question regarding worth; I don't know as most coin collectors would not even want items such as these since they are not coins.

    I would even go out on a limb and say that these probably hold more value to you as conversation pieces for your neat finds, than they would a monetary value for someone else.

    But who knows, people collect anything and although unlikely, there could be a collector(s) out there right now searching high and low for novelty items such as yours :)

    You mean 2 too many big macs as the authentic one looks like she had 1 too many already herself.

    The diameter for each:

    Morgan dollar = 38.1 mm
    Lincoln Cent = 19.05 mm
    Buffalo Nickel = 21.21 mm
    St. Gaudens Double Gold Eagle = 34.1 mm

    Coin dont really have a length as they are round. They can be measured in radius, diamater and I suppose perimeter and thickness. The lincoln cent you would be the overall size of any US lincoln penny you may have ever seen. The Indian/Buff nickel would be the size of any Jefferson Nickel you have ever seen. The morgan and St gaudens woul both be smaller than what you have there with the gaudens coming in a few differnet sizes.

    I would try the ground as opposed to water or jello mounds
