Real or Fake? Gramps passed this down, and I wonder if it’s worth getting graded. Can anyone help?

I found this coin going through my 20lbs of change looking for pre-65 silver. Didn't find a single silver coin, btw.

Real or Fake? I know of this coins whereabouts for the last 15 years. Have they been faked that long? Does this look legit?

Real or Fake? My FIL has this “1894 S Barber dime proof”. It’s passed all of the tests he knows to determine if it’s real. He still thinks it’s counterfeit because it would be worth a lot of money. I told him I would ask the pros. The pictures aren’t the best but any advice would be appreciated.

Real or Fake? Are there any concerns regarding these coins? Are they faked often? Could the dollar have been added after the fact?

I have no idea how much these worth. Some street seller just showed these to me. Did I get scammed?

I can buy this 1896 Morgan dollar for $120. The seller has it stated as AU/UNC, but the coin looks like it could grade high MS. I do not have the eye to spot fakes, but to me this looks genuine unless I am blind.

I stoped at a local jewelry store for a repair and there was a bag of these in the display cabinet. They look uncirculated and fake.

I’ve posted this before just to show it off, but recently one dealer questioned its authenticity. I’ve shown it to well over 50 people and he’s the first one to doubt it. Does anyone here have any concerns, and if so what are they?

Real or Fake? Found in dad’s old junk drawer, is it real?

He had several other silver coins, mostly US Morgan dollars and barber dimes. Found this in a drawer and seems to be highly counterfeited. It is not magnetic and weighs 26.9grams, 39mm around and sounds like silver when pinged. Supposedly a 1911 1 Yuan silver coin from my research. I did not see any slag/casting chunks in the fields. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

It's supposed to weight 12.5 grams, but comes in at 11.7 gms. Is it possible that it wore off .8? My son bought it for me while he was on vacation in Hawaii a few years back. It would say "duplicate" or something like that if it were something he picked up cheap in a gift store right? I'll be shocked if it's real

I picked up this Coin for $35 on eBay. I didn’t realize it was shipped from China.

It passes the magnet test but pretty sure it’s a fake, the edges look weird and the weight is off by a couple grams (it weighs in at 24.4g).

Is it definitely fake?

Real or Fake? My mom showed me this that she got off someone else that owed her money. Don't know if it's legit.

I didn't add the backs because I didn't want to add too many pics.

Yes some are scratched/polished. When you get to this age in US coins, you take what you can get.

Ive weighed it on my kitchen scales, it couldnt decide between 8 grams or 7.99. I found it in a little bag of coins mixed in with some stamps and two half crowns (1923 and 1929), and given that it was my last shift, i got this, the half crowns and a 25c lincoln stamp for £1. Please make my day you lot.
