I bought a lot of 6 off of ebay, and the pics were blurry. Upon opening up the package, I felt they looked off - especially the head area. Opinions?

I don't like them one bit! I don't know US coins well but the obverse on that is horrific! faked because of the popularity of the W mint mark?
Feel free to call me Will.

I don't really study my silver eagles but that face looks like a zombuck!
Edit: I didn't read your post first and I see you think the head is off too. Return them now!

I am not ready to jump on the fake wagon yet.
Need a better picture. Take pictures straight down on the coin.
As stated the weight would help. And check out the edge of the coin, the reeding should be perfect on a proof coin.

Quote: I am not ready to jump on the fake wagon yet. Not from those pics....they look like proofs. Were they sold as such? Image them out of the capsule and straight on...

Weights and measures will give you a pretty good idea. Calipers will give you diameter if you have a set.

I hope this image isn't too small...the image optimizer kept forcing me to make it smaller. But the weight IS one ounce, and it is non-magnetic.

The fonts are different on these compared to the real-deal. The sandals are different too.
Do they even have reeded edges?
