Counterfeit coins are tough for me to spot and a friend just supposedly inherited these from her grandfather...I did some research but am thinking they are real. I just need a confirm incase she decides to sell them... thanks guys for all of this...

Sadly, most appear to be counterfeit. Straight outta China.
First, if you have access to them, check with a magnet. If they're not magnetic, then
Second, open up the PCGS price guide and locate the date and type of coin. Click on the coin number on the far left. A coin facts page with photos will appear. Closely compare the details of her coins to the photos. Make sure that the date/ mintmark combination exists.
Third, take them to a local coin shop that does PCGS submissions, and ask if they are worth submitting.
I recommend that when photographing the coins, do them one at a time, front and back, on a piece of white or black paper rather than a snuggly blanket.
