They look all genuine to me and very little value.

Yes, they look quite legit to me. Without large and sharp photos of obverses and reverses, it cannot be determined if there are any relatively rare pieces.

Cheers!

Agree with others: genuine coins. Only one (the quarter) contains silver. The half-dozen "war cents" are steel (and magnetic). The Buffalo nickels are worth perhaps a dollar apiece, if the dates are legible. They may have a lot of sentimental value, though. Ask where they came from. There might be stories behind the coins.

By increasing the size, the only coin I see with any value is the silver quarter.
The Buffalo nickels are all no date and the steel cents are worn so there is not
much value over face.
Hard to tell the date on the wheatie bit it appears to be worn.

I thought the Wheat cent was 1912.

It would appear the only coin of value is, as has been said, the silver quarter.

Silver quarter = about $4.00 (silver value

Steel cents (no rust) = about 10 cents each

common Wheat cent = about 3 cents

Dateless Buffalo nickels = about 10 cents each

I agree with what has already been said, genuine and low value.

1941 quarter = $7
Steel cents = $1.25 for all
1912 Wheat cent = $1.39
5 no date Buffalo nickels = $5 for all at $1 each (get nic a date liquid in bottle from e-bay may reveal dates and be worth more)
Total value of all coins as is = $14.64

Seems a bit overpriced. I'd imagine they'd be $0.10 or less a piece.

"Value" has a very fluid definition. All depends on which side of the table you are on.

These are type of coins that I used to find in change, and started my interest in coin collecting. So, there is a certain value there for your friend.

But Capricorn7, I know that's not what you were referring to. Just trying to add a different perspective.

All of the coins certainly look authentic to me. There would be no incentive to fake these coins due to their low retail value, as estimated by others here.
