Sorry guys, "worth" is what I meant.
English is not my native language.
Will try to get descent pictures later.
These are taken from skype web camera conversation. :)

The 1924 and the 1885 I know nothing about. The 1800 or 1880 (which ever it is) is fake. Here is what a real one looks like:   |

I agree the 1800 (you say its 1880) Bust coin is a fake. The condition of the other two would keep them from being very valuable but would need some better pictures to even start to be able to tell what grade they are and what they are worth if anything above melt value. The top one probably isn't even silver so it is probably not worth anything

thank you for your help fellas. I got some more photos:   Can you tell from these if the coins worth something? I am not a collector and don't know anything about them. It just so happened that a close friend of mine got them and was asking me if they worth anything... |

I'm not sure why this thread is in the VAM forum, but anyway, Are all of these coins the same size jj ? What are the diameters (mm)? Moved to classic coin section |

Are you trying to sell them? I am not asking to buy, just wondering what your motive is?

can you get close up pictures of each coin and post them one at a time? There are some coins in there I would need to see better before commenting on them so please take single photos of each of the coins Obverse and Reverse and post them in here

The second group contains no genuine coins at all. The first coin in your first post is not genuine either as has already been mentioned. The fact that you already have so many counterfeits immediately makes the 1885 Morgan and 1924 Peace dollars suspect as well so they are probably counterfeit too. You should weigh the Morgan and Peace dollars, correct weight is 26.73 grams for a 90% silver dollar and anything under 26 grams should be counterfeit. Edited by biokemist6

The Peace dollar is counterfeit... it has the cartoonish lettering on the reverse like many coming out of Thailand. They will be non-magnetic, but the weight will be off. |

use a RedBook or just go to local coin shops |

RedBook is not going to help if they are counterfeit which I am 97%% sure a few or all of them are

I'm sorry but it looks to me (of those last eight coins you posted) like you have a bunch of counterfeit coins. I don't see any one of these 8 that look genuine from these pictures.  |

So just how did your friend acquire those? And why did he ask you about them if you don't know nothing about coins? Is he trying to resell them? Hopefully he didn't pay to much for them though. I'm just curious why he didn't post this himself here or doesn't he know how to use a computer? If he did already buy them, you may want to suggest he returns them to whoever he got them from and don't buy STUFF he knows nothing about. |
