Its hard to tell if the Morgan is real from those pictures, but everything else is definitely fake.

Idk, they're probably worth $23 to someone. He says they're altered in the title and although misleading, I'm sure most coin collectors will know what that means and one will eventually offer him $20 to put in their counterfeit collection.

Ayup, all of those are fake (even the Morgan; that's not a "natural" rim). Worth about $10-15 at most to a counterfeit collector, perhaps as much as $25 at "retail" as novelties (but that's stretching it).
From what I can see, I have all of these varieties in my collection already. They are ubiquitous. Every cash-for-gold place gets hit by them eventually.
(Some of my own counterfeit collection can be found at The Black Cabinet, linked below, but I don't think I have these guys up on there yet. They're in the "unsorted" binder, still.)
