Most look pretty legit to me but then again I'm not the one shelling out cash for them.

The gold Ryo is a $700-1,000 coin and nobody in their right mind would sell a genuine one on Craigslist, particularly because of the risk of getting robbed! It is most likely a modern replica.

That said, I don't see any red flags about the rest... even the silver Yen looks legit. The silver BU appear to be genuine, and I don't see red flags with the other gold, although it helps to weigh them.

The banknotes and lower denominations all look fine.

Yeah .. and maybe a more serious piece of equipment.

If any of that stuff is real ... c'mon $1?

They probably just put the $1 as a placeholder - prices would probably be negotiable depending on the piece but too many to list hence the $1

Those coins and banknotes look real to me but I don't think the seller is the original owner.
