Undoubtedly they are not genuine.... and not silver.

Not sure about the Morgan's but when I clicked on the Canadian gold Maple Leaf, it shows a counterfeit that you will be receiving. I'm sure for that price, nothing is genuine.

It cannot be. The entire website looks almost identical to another site I researched the other day. Here is some information on the site: https://www.dubdomain.com/q.php?domain=becomef.comNow that doesn't instill much confidence does it? The site has only existed for 18 days. They have no IP address listed either. The site I was looking at down to spelling and layout was identical and had been around for under 27 days. Unfortunate if a deal seems to good to be true - it is! In these days especially so. For reference here is the site I was looking at for a friend. He also had similar misgivings but wasn't looking at coins to buy. https://www.rlowcostwp.com/ It's almost scary how fast these types of sites pop up, steal money and information then disappear a week or so later. There are literally thousands of them, built with bots by unscrupulous fraudsters.    Note they are perpetuating to be in Washington D.C. and in Phoenix, Arizona, yet the sales page references VAT Taxes and the terms state "by all laws of the EU" very convoluted and disjointed. Any refunds are issued or not by some company called Trendylex and no fees or other charges can be refunded. The customer service email is another redflag szservice"at"outlook.com All items are sourced and shipped from the United States, yet they claim to ship using only E-Packets a US Postal product. It is but it only applies to China based items in the mail. The claim mail takes anywhere from 20 to 30 days to arrive and up to 2-4 weeks to source and ship.

In their FAQ they state that all their coins are genuine! "All of our coins and currency are guaranteed to be 100% genuine! Over the past decade we have identified many counterfeit coins in the market so it is more important than ever to deal with an experienced company that you can trust. No fake replica coins whatsoever!"

Ironic that they guarantee their coins to be genuine, then show nothing but counterfeit Morgans on their website!

An excellent buy for a dishonest reseller.

Page looks quite professional, but all those photos are stolen from various websites and people's gallery images. The only real ones are the ones showing the fake a@@ coins and coin holders (Chinese lead fakes).
The main photo looks like it was stolen from some 1990s Franklin mint or Bradford Exchange advertising brochure!
And seriously when did Barry Goldwater's son (The right wing cretin who ran for President in 1964) becoming an agent for promoting Chinese shill coins.
If anything its a rip off, usually Chinese fake Morgans cost around $1 each. You are paying about $6 or $7 each coin here.

For the last couple years, I've used ebay bucks and gift cards to buy sterling silver flatware, trays and bowls. Even though it's not strictly true, I consider the bucks and cards to be non-monetary premiums. Under this logic, I have purchased sterling for under $10 per ounce. The best bullion value is in cups and trays weighing 3-6 oz, which sell for cash at close to bullion price. Beware of items which are not solid sterling like candlesticks and table knives. It's unfortunate that the gift cards cannot be used to buy coins or bullion....but this proves my point that they're not really money. Buying sterling items is like sneaking around the ebay bullion rule. Some of the items are kitschy schlock. Others are great looking, particularly the San Francisco silversmiths, French art nouveau and the mid 19th century Gorham cups.
