They look okay aleast some of them, however I believe there do not contain any silver so I'm a bit 50-50 about keeping them.

Why do you have them?

What are your collecting goals?

Without this information, it is difficult to render an opinion.

I don't collect 20th century Germany, so if someone gave these to me, I would already have them on ebay.

If I were only interested in silver, I would have known exactly what these were, and factored that in before I bought them.

But if I were growing my world coin collection, the answer would be very different.

Why not make a project out of it?
Take each piece and find out what is right or wrong, take photos, make notes and create something to learn from.
I bought an auction lot and did this with it:

Bought them from an auction, bought them for less then their face value if they where exchanged, but I live on the other side of the world. Not a active goal but passive one so I'm sort of tempt in keep them however also see the merits in a filp so that I can get a better coin. :)

What I really want to know is if something like this is hard to get or not on the market, I assuming they are even in the same or even better quality, maybe not for same price but they are readily available? Or am I wrong that they are actually quite hard to source but cheap to buy.

Taking a quick look on U.S. ebay, there are recent sales and current "inventory" of the first few types I looked at, but not large numbers, as you say. A lot of what is selling are the proofs, rather than normal business strikes. That said, the prices are rather low (under $10).

At a minimum, you have a nice project on how various modern engravers have imagined that iconic German eagle.
