    Hey guys I am new to this forum, but I am interested in 3 coins I found in my room today. I know nothing about coins so any information you can give me would be great. I found some information online but I thought it would be good to post here and see what you guys had to say about them.

    Coin1:

    Sorry about coin 2 but it is very faded and that was the best I could get with my camera. Thanks again!

    The silver dollars are very heavily faked. How did you find them? The third item appears genuine from the photo, but has been pretty heavily faked as well.

    I wouldnt be surprised if they are fake. I believe they were my great grandmothers and I really do not know how she got them.

    Best way to tell on coin 1 and 3 is weight. Do you have access to a scale that could weigh them? If so, I can post tonight what weight they should be.

    Yeah, I am pretty sure they are fake. I have about 80 of these in a baggy somewhere I have got from group lots on Ebay. I didn't buy the groups because of them, just got them along with what I was purchasing. I stamp all of them as copy and hand them out to kids.
