Hello! We have some coins that we arent sure if they are authentic or replicas that we would love to get your opinions on! I have weighed them, none of them say copy anywhere that I can see. We would really appreciate any input yall might have. Thank you in advance! I hope I uploaded front and back of all coins, if not, please let me know and I will add any I missed!

to the Forum, Amy! Unfortunately, every one of these appears to be a cast reproduction.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Unfortunately I agree that all of these appear to be cast reproductions. You can tell by the grainy and mushy appearance.

These are some of the old souvenir type replicas made before the copy stamp was mandated. I used to get these in museum and historic area gift shops when I was a kid.

I agree that they appear to have that "cast" look to them. Could they possibly be Period/Contemporary copies? If so, is it possible to tell if they are?
