Are these real! And what’s the value. (Russian empire)

These came from Ukraine from a trusted source (dad lives there and knows people) but the three coins on the left look to perfect..

    I think you're right to be suspicious.

    The one at the top (or left) would be a pattern Siberian 5 kopeks. If it was real you would probably know, as it wouldn't be cheap.

    Similarly, the dark one (1771) would be a pattern Moldavia 5 kopeks. If it's real, you could buy a nice car with it.

    The 10 at the top (left) is a standard issue but even the restrike would be a few hundred euros.

    The 10 and 5 kopeks at the bottom (right) are common and aren't in great condition, so probably genuine.

    Took the words right out of my mouth. I'm betting top 3 are numismatic forgeries, bottom 2 are real.

    How much would the two real ones be worth? Any way to see if it’s real!
    Edit: you said the top left one (fake) would be worth money? What made me sus was the “mint” luster
