    I agree with TomB. They look granular. Do you have a scale?

    They’re all fake. Way too similar looking to be real and all look strange

    I remember you, but unfortunately the image you have shared appears to show five modern counterfeits.

    Agree with Tom on both counts

    Compare the dates in Coinfacts, mozeppa. They are not even close. Sorry for the bad news.

    Maybe AliExpress? They currently have the same group of five counterfeits offered for just a few bucks!

    Mozeppa... I also remember you! Welcome back, but as others have indicated those coins appear to be counterfeit... the dates look to be an odd font... I hope your uncle isn't out too much money...

    Looks like the fakes coming out of China these days. I hope he didn't pay too much for them.

    Do these fakes usually have any silver content?

    It depends. Some higher quality fakes do but most are just silver plated brass or copper and some don’t have any silver content.
