Some appear dipped in some sort of a cleaning agent.

That Bust $1 looks kinda funky.

Larger pictures may show the 'China' birthmark.

Seller never says that the pictures are of the actual coins you will receive. His description of the coins clearly describes a different coin than the one pictured, at least for a few of them. I did not look at all of them.

They look good from a distance--in hand inspection is needed. Believe it or not - some people have never heard of TPG's.

I think the biggest clue, besides the coins themselves, is that he says "shipping to the US" in his
description, yet he's supposed to be in IL.

Edited to say he has sold coins and has received excellent feedback on them. Hmmmmmmmm....

I take that to mean that shipping within the US (or "to US destinations/locations") is $xx. Lots of sellers point out that they only ship domestically.

"are these authentic?"

When ever I see this or think it, I pass.

If you are in doubt, there either:

a) is something that is bothering you, therefore pass.

or

b) You don't know enough about the piece, again: Pass.

or

c) Your gut is saying: "Gimme some Mallox". (Spelled wrong?) again: pass

All the coins pictured are authentic.
Some (like the Nickels) are rather harshly cleaned.

That all the coin pictures (except the 3-cent) have the same background (and thus were presumably taken by the same person) is a good sign.

However, whether or not the winner will receive the coins shown is the question.

are these authentic?
