I hate to say it but they all look fake to me. Trade dollar is definitely fake, they were minted 1873-1885, none in 1817. The Peace dollar is very strange looking and so is the Ike & the Onza. The rims are too thick as well. All are very crude casts.

 

some us coins.........................

i would be wary of those coins, they look like trouble to me.

i agree with becky62.

i wouldn't purchase them and i hope you didn't.

always best to learn all you can before spending on ANY coins.

 

I agree. Stay away from these crude fakes.

 

ALL are fakes, sorry!

 

fake!

 

So, how could I learn coins? And where could I start up?

 

Hang around here, ask a lot of questions and do a lot of reading. For reading material the book Official Guide to Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection from PCGS is a good place to start. Look at a lot of counterfeit coins (as well as genuine coins) so you can learn how to spot fakes.

 

Great minds think alike!

 

extremely crude fakes

 

I hope whomever made them has moved on to a different profession.

 

Fakes all of them. Get some books on coins and grading. The annual redbook is a good start as it gives weights and diameters of coins. You can always ask questions on this site.

 

Undoubtedly from one of the Chinese counterfeit factories.

 

Every one of them is fake (and pretty poor ones at that).
