I found a pretty collection with modern coins from different countries and it says that they are 100% real. The pictures look real too. Any opinion?

If you're talking about that album with world coins and their respective flag above them the album is made from pvc as most Chinese coin products are. But I'm sure the majority of the coins are real, just not the quality and a condition as pictured.

I'm not talking about the album with the flags but I understood. So they are real, but lower condition right?

Well if you're buying from China, (if that's where wish products are based) it's kinda expected that the item won't be as good as quality as pictured. Best to buy ones with reviews so you get an idea of what you're getting.

My one and only experience with Wish was with coins that were counterfeit.
PayPal issued a refund right away so if you do purchase from them and have PayPal, use it.
I'm not saying all sellers are bad, but the one I dealt with was.

@robertp, I have never purchased from wish.com, but I would be very cautious about purchasing coins from them (as it seems you are being). Wish.com seems to take no responsibility for the claims of the merchants selling on their website.

Spence I already bought some items from there and they were just as described. I'm just worrying if the coins are original.

It was a set of 4 .999 coins priced at .999 price.

And magnetic. Magnet stuck like glue. 100% counterfeit.

Ok @RobertP, if you have the coins, then I agree with @echizento, that we need to see some pics please.

Don't touch Wish with a 39 1/2 foot pole (12.04 meters for our metric system using friends).
Wild west show over there - Say what you will about ebay, but at least they offer buyer protections and have some degree of quality control over their stuff.

Look at the reviews this "site" has.
Products appear cheap because they are - Many of the items sold there are POS knockoffs being sold at brand name price - Caveat Emptor
Pretty much every single Chinese scam in existence can be found there, from counterfeit coins to bogus USB sticks that can even give your computer a virus.
