I'm looking at these coins and they don't look to be specimen coins.

Saying they have 1000 of them, they are probably using the term specimen loosely. Also proof like. Wouldn't specimens be proofs, and not proof like?

How much silver per coin?

Not too good to be true, IMHO, but you may receive some "damaged" coins with noticeable marks, scratches, etc.

They could well be prooflike, but
they are certainly not 'gem' when they are stacked like that!

To me, 'gem' means MS65 or better.

Misdescribed. They should have been described as 'prooflike' only.

The pictures sure don't help. From some angles they look like stacks of white circles.

From what I can see in the photos, most definitely _not_ specimen strikes.

The sellers distinctly says they are PL, but goes on to say they where taken from Specimen sets.
Misleading wording or typo or sellers doesn't understand the difference. IMO
