Purchased this off ebay. Realized when I got them that a 1904 queen Victoria didn't make sense. Doubting it's an error and all online examples show King Edwards.

Are the all fake? Not familiar with these.

I just used 8 of the 20 coins.

They all look counterfeit, yes.

Love the 1904-dated Victoria.

If they do or they don't, they are still counterfeit. If they don't react to a magnet it does not mean they are solid silver.

These are common silver plated brass counterfeits made by the millions.

Ok, thanks for the confirmation. It wasn't listed as Replica or fake so hopefully I can get my money back. I won't bother with the magnet given the confirmation of them all being fake.

100% agree. If you are even a tiny bit questioning the excellent advice and opinions above, you could confirm by doing specific gravity tests on them. Hopefully, you can just return them though.
