If someone sent you an image of this, how much would you pay if any and why?

    $0. Because they made too many of these fakes for them to be collectible.

    Beware!
    Not much of anything. I agree that most of it all are probably flake. Chinese "blister pack" or plastic set. They come wrapped together.
    Magnets are your friend if you actually bother to meet up with the seller. In a bank. Or bust public place on cameras.
    Why do they all "have the same patina?" Cleaned and or fake.
    Also if those were real, they would have already found closest coin store or googled the coins.

    Edited to add that I would maybe pay $5 just to have them as counterfeit reference material.

    Unless this is spare change from Longacre or tradedollarnut :wink:

    No deal.... unless the seller shipped them on approval.... they look as if they could be fakes.... if not, certainly poor, worn examples... and likely already reviewed for anything special. So, either fake or trash... I would not even bother with the deal. Cheers, RickO

    It's a group of counterfeits. The better question is why would you buy them?
