<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2368679, member: 19463"]When you ask for help anywhere but certainly here, it is good to give potential helpers all the information you can. That would be the sharpest, best photos and anything pertinent about how you got the coins. For example here I see nothing suspicious except that you chose to provide fuzzy photos. The ID labels are quite complete and make me wonder if the reverse of the cards might even name the previous owner which could be a good hint as to whether the coins are good or not. I will point out that all of these are moderate to low end examples of common coins that are not often faked but there are fakes of everything so that in itself is not a certain point. From what I see through the glare I believe all the ID's are correct. More information will require selecting a coin of interest and providing a good (no plastic) image of both sides cropped to just the coin. Then you can ask specific questions about coins one at a time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
