Sorry if chosed wrong category, I really don't know where to post this.
I found these 3 coins on russian auction. Seller says it's counterfeits were made years ago, 1880-1920 or like that.
What can you say about it? They look similar to modern Chinese copies.

If the 85 is a P mint, they are all low value coins. Why would they make fakes for those years?

I don't really know why someone needs make counterfeit Morgan for circulation when it's melt price was near 1$. Seller says it's 0.9 silver and weight is correct.
Can they be genuine or it's just another variety of Chinese copies?

The uniform toning around the devices on all three coins is a dead giveaway that these are all Chinese counterfeits.

Thanks. I feel sorry for the person who bids 9$ each. I already made public report, everyone can see it.
Auction will ends in 3hrs, intresting what will be final price.
There's no way auction admin can delete this items like on ebay, so someone will be fooled today.

These are definitely not contemporary counterfeits they are in fact modern Chinese counterfeits. Most of the counterfeits produced prior to 1920 bore the New Orleans mint mark and were dated 1893, 1894, 1896, 1900, 1901 and 1902 with one 1900 die pairing with an S mint mark.
