Are these authentic?

Somebody offered me a great price on all these they look authentic to me but I just want to see what others have to say. Is there anything that shows that any of them may be fake?

Some of them look suspicious to me. Angle and group shots are not the way to get opinions on authenticity.

 

I would agree with johnmilton on this one. Some look real, but most don't...

 

What are the denominations of the lot? Not seeing any reverse shots........I'd 'shy' off.........some look peculiar to me. If they're half dollars, I'd run...........

 

: May help...

 

Have you waved a magnet over them yet?

One or two, I'd look at them carefully. A whole pile like that, at "a great price" -- yeah, that doesn't happen.

Tell us, was the "great price" lower than 5 figures?

 

The great price is $500 so if even one of them is real it’s a good deal

 

theyre all dollars

There was an auction on Invaluable auctions and some of the dates are the same as what they auctioned . Those were all Chinese knock offs. I would be very careful , and probably have someone close to you that knows his coins to have a real close look at them. Maybe a dealer or coin shop in your area would help you out . Those look exactly as the knock offs in that auction. I agree with @green18 Run and Run fast. Dillan

 

Offer an extra hundred to get them certified at your LCS first. If he can figure out a reason to say no, def fake.

 

Just glancing they all look bad.

 

I agree, but just seeing this hoard in front of me would have my head spinning. Would definitely need someone else's eyes and a cool head.

 

What did they offer you?

 

They're not real - just a bunch of Chinese fakes.

 

Yep, and they're the terribly cheap ones to boot!

 

Remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

 

I used to spend quite a lot of time on eBay looking for bargains -- often, batches of disadvantaged coins that had one or two treasures hidden inside. I had some pretty good successes.

You know what I never encountered? A lot containing a bunch of counterfeit rarities, with one or two real rarities mixed in.

This seller is looking for a sucker. Don't be that sucker.
