Unless you have really good provenance for them, you should assume that they are fakes until proven otherwise.

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1913 Posts	Posted 11/05/2023 5:35 pm A suspended pair of round N-52 magnets can also be useful as a test for silver although it is not fool proof. And likely easier for anybody to obtain and learn to use. Also way more easier than specific gravity for many that post pictures here of questioned coins. Depending on results, an SG number may or may not be needed. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm leaning towards genuine coins based on these photos and that weight and size are correct. Report this Post to the Staff
