    Why do you think they could be fakes ?

    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    The date is 1967.. looks original. These are of low value so doubt any counterfeiting is taking place.

    Coin dealers usually buy bulk, mixed foreign from walk-in sellers by weight. They then quickly look through the lots for anything that might be silver and just dump the rest into lots they sell by weight. Much of this material comes from sellers who inherited it. It may have been sitting around for decades.

    Those coins are probably genuine and may have been brought back to the US by a tourist of fifty years ago.

    All glory is fleeting.

    Found out the NGC picture and several ebay coins are wrong the stem of the t in my image and the NGC image is centered. Which means its a 7 . The Hebrew four has a t as well but the stem is moved to the right. It would be helpful in the future if that is pointed out especially to someone who does not know Hebrew, but thanks for pointing it out . It was an interesting investigation.
