Regarding the fact he's from Greece, they all seem to have similar repetition. For example, all the indian's have the same general toning and coloration, and the 1914 cent and "1909 S VDB" appear to be the same.

If you look at this 1864 IHC closely, you can tell the detail is very blurred, and what not. They are good counterfeits.

Not to mention the fact that the coins don't appear to have any scratches or dings or anything of that natural in the fields. The fields are perfectly clean. Another key characteristic of unmarked counterfeits.

The "VDB" does not look genuine...

The indians all look grainy. Could be the photography. I don't see any indication that they are using common reverses, which you would expect if they are struck. It would be a lot of work to cast all those different copies. Hard to tell without seeing them in person.
Rest in Peace

Take a look at the date on the 1880 IHC. I say all counterfeit also.
