I would be shocked if any were genuine. For starters, too many key dates. Book it Dano..Counterfeit.

What bank does your wife work at? I would work there for free if I could pick up coins like those.

There is one of four things happening here.

1- Some old senile lady is selling off her dead husbands fortune for pennies. (Someone please inform this person of what they are doing.)

2- Someone is dumping counterfeit junk, or stolen property.(I don't know why they would do it at a bank.)

3- These are stolen and we are being used to find out what they are worth, and how to sell them. (Please don't take offence, but it is possible.)

4- You are making counterfeit coins, and you are looking for our feedback so you can make improvements. (Also possible, and once again no offence intended. I really don't think this is the case.)

I hope either of the latter two is not true, but it wouldn't be the first time we have been duped here. The sad thing is, in any of these cases, someone is getting taken behind the woodshed. I can see random old coins showing up at a bank, but this many Morgan dollars, and this rare? Something fishy is going on.
I think your wife's bank should be put on notice to watch for who is bringing them in. They could stop a criminal, or help some old grandma buy her denture cream, either way it sounds like the right thing to do to me. I think I would let the police know about this as well.

Let me guess, your wife works for the Bank of Beijing? The 93-s is as fake as the others, and not a very good attempt at that.

Well, this got out of hand to the extent that I needed to remove a post. In the future, guys, I need you to be more....diplomatic in your choice of phrasing.
