Hi guys,

I'm new here. I have several Liberty coins and some French ones as well. Anyone interested? Can you please grade them and give me some comments?

The pics are not so clear. I can post them again if you wish.

Where did you get them?
The so-called 1797 Trade dollar is an obvious fake, as that design of coin was only made in the 1870s. I'm very suspicious of the 1799, both because of its rarity in the wild & because of the apparent rust stain. The first test is that any of them which is magnetic is a fake. The remaining ones will need to pass other tests, on the theory of "guilt by association".

And I'm sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear, but fake silver dollars, mostly from China, are ubiquitous nowadays.

The 1799 is missing "LIBERTY" over the bust figure and the 1797 looks like a Trade dollar,but they were not minted until 1873.

All the U.S. coins are counterfeit. Most likely from China.

After checking the rims of your FIC 1P coins against genuine coin photos, I believe those are counterfeit also.

I actually got them from a box of my grandfather after digging the house. I also researched that the 1797 one is fake but still not sure until now. Thought the rest have some value LOL
Happy to hear your responses though. Thanks a lot guys

Unfortunately these are modern counterfeits.
