Top one is a commemorative from the 1939 San Francisco/Golden Gate expo. Worth around $15. 4 and 5 are Japanese 1 mon, 18th century, but very...
The usual fare. Probably the best of their account names so far :)
Rorschach
I think your $53 was well worth it. I have knowingly purchased worse quality fakes for more in the past. Definitely a good post and a wake up call...
A Spanish coin from the late 15th century and later with denomination 8 (VIII) and weighing in the mid-high 20's in grams would normally be silver...
