Much sharper pics needed.

from pictures provided so far,
I have to agree: really need much sharper pictures to assess surface texture.
I can't really make up my mind if:
a) fake, or
b) they have had a quick acid dip and thorough rinsing.
Either way, I can't see much evidence of residual mint luster.
Comparative ping tone with known genuine would definitely be useful in this case.

I will try to get better photos with our camera. These were from my cell phone. I cant compare them to a known real one as I dong have one. I'll run them to a store and see.

Photos are too blurry to make any type of evaluation and guess.

Two things just off the top....
1). As far as the Walkers go —— it is doubtful that 70 or 80 year old coins would have that brilliant luster unless they have been cleaned, dipped or played with.
2). The Morgan has that "funky" gray toning around the devices that is synonymous with counterfeit coins of Chinese origins.
Right now I'm leaning towards counterfeits. Hope I'm wrong.
Better pics are a must.

If you can, get a refund. The walkers at best are cleaned, but appear to be fakes, but photos are not good enough to be 100% certain. Please post obverse of the Morgan. If the Morgan is a 1901, it is 100% fake as the reverse arrow feather is not correct for a 1901.

I agree that all of these coins look pretty suspicious, but in the future you should separate the coins into different threads

Welcome!
Did you already do size, weight and magnet checks?

Hello.
The walkers look like scaled-down silver eagle bullion coins. The rims look contemporary. My judgement is these are counterfeits, which is odd since the dates are relatively common.
p.s. I hope I'm incorrect!

 . The 35S is spot on to the NGC link FC posted. No serifs on the S, strong sun rays, you can even pick up the vertical striations in the obverse fields that look like die polishing (but obviously are not). If you have one counterfeit in the lot...... Edited by Ty2020b
