The internet has grown massively. And with selling place when very large, crooks, criminals, con artist, etc pop up with everyone else. What is good, bad, horrible, fantastic, wonderful, etc over the internet is now just guesswork. As a general rule most of the people I know either sell or buy something over the internet. And as a general rule about 10% of them have been taken. So that is fairly decent odds that the coins you purchased are OK but buying anything withoug actually seeing it is a risk. When doing that just make sure your purchases are 1. Something you can afford to make a mistake on 2. Something you can return without paying to much. Some returns require you pay postage an a restocking fee. 3. Just don't buy something you really may not want. 5. learn how to use ebay so you can resell that thing if not OK.
As to what to do with items like those. Find a coin store or coin show and take them there for authenticating. Most dealers will help you out there.
