They all appear to me to be counterfeits, especially since they fail the magnet test.

 Locomotor to the forum! There are many who buy fakes, not just to collect them but it helps to have a fake/reproduction, actual counterfeit in hand when identifying others as to their real status or not. It is "legal" to sell coins as this AS LONG AS they are identified as being reproduction/fakes. So yes, on ebay these can Ber sold. When I buy such, I Dremel the word "COPY" on the reverse side so my nimwit relatives don't try and sell them as real when I'm gone!  |

Little value no matter what you do with them. Personally, as long as they don't contain lead or zinc, I'd use them as lake skippers. |

e U.S. government rejected the three metal coin because fear of counterfeits. True because contrary to the alloy inventors claims the finished coins always looked like plain silver. A counterfeiter could leave out the gold and it would be very difficult to tell. |

Please do not attempt to sell them. If they show up on ebay, we will have to report them and have them taken down. It doesn't do anyone any good to have these sorts of counterfeits trading in the marketplace, even as curiousities. |

Fathead 5 took the words right out of my mouth!
For someone who has been looking at the real ones for many years, fakes jump out like a sore thumb.

Call me paranoid, but that 1963 Seated Liberty just doesn't sit right with me...
Just joking!
The best thing to do IMO, is what you've just done.
Counterfeiter's/scammers will always try something different.
Displaying the frauds helps educate all collectors on what they're up to now.
You may have just saved someone a lot of money by showing them your misfortune. (I mean that in the most respectful way possible.)
Karma will catch them sooner or later. It always does...

Fake, yes, but you could have a lot of fun with those. Bury them where medal detectors hang out, put them in coin slots, leave them on sidewalks etc.   Just kidding, don't do that. But it would be funny |
