I suppose the burning question is...are these genuine American Silver Eagles?
I cannot help you with that--but perhaps others can.

I agree with DV, I am not sure if these are even genuine.

The pictures just don't look right. It looks like there is some sort of peeling on the obverse of the coin. Right by the foot and around the bottom of the dress. The reverse just looks very strange, there doesn't seem to be any silver "colour"

Silver is about 28.5/oz today and these are collectible so 3 for $100
isn't bad at all but you gotta make sure they are real silver eagles.

I would hesitate to go for these. I am in the same boat with the above posters, I can't put my finger on anything that suggests they appear fake, but my gut tells me something is wrong.

Maybe ask the seller to meet you at a friendly coin shop for a quick opinion? I know of one local coin shop that I don't frequent too often because they tend to only deal in gold coins, but I trust the owner and he has offered to look over coins I bring in, or photos, and he always gives me his opinion and what he'd consider paying. I trust him and he hasn't tried to cheat me at any point.

Not sure if that is an option, but in this case I'd get some proof before spending any hard earned money.

I'd stay away from Craigslist unless you want to buy a lawnmower.

They look fine but the price isn't great with silver at $28.37.

I would pass on those, they look cleaned and mishandled. You can pick up 2012 BU Eagles in the $31-32 range right now.

vermontensium hit the nail on the head with that statement. Too many pit falls on Craig's list when buying or selling coins and bullion.

I would pass. They appear to have been cleaned/polished and you could get them without cleaning for a little less than the price in the ad.
