Not something I would go for. They all look "off."
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
Why would anyone bid on coins with only half of the photo's offered. I feel when this is done, it is for a reason, so I don't even look at the coins nor the auction.

They certainly have an odd look, at least the photos do.

Edit: Sorry door bell rang.
26 obverse looks fake. 25 also looks fake. I don't see the 27 obverse

Agreed. VF-ish surfaces with AU55 details, in some areas.
These are San Francisco mintmarks from 1926:
They look funky to me on both coins

Too many red flags = likely fake. The east-west cropped pictures alone are enough to send me away. The 25-S, 26-S and 27-S are tough dates to find in nice XF-AU (I've been looking for a while). These are almost too nice - they have almost an oil-rubbed bronze look and the fields have no contact marks. The thickness of the numbers in the date and the 1 are off compared to the 26-S plate coin. I think they are fake.
If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

Counterfeit/fake…
No good.

Typical Chinese fake coins. I don't understand why they think we trust in cod. I have seen them do this same motto blunder on fake Peace Dollars.
After I wrote that I actually went to look at the listing. Someone bought them for ~$300.00. If they bought them knowing they were actual counterfeits, hopefully it was for a nobler cause to get them off the market. But, if they didn't know, these people should not be buying coins. If you are a new or old collector and could not tell those coins were cheap Chinese fakes, without looking at the comment section first, just stick with coins in reputable plastic. Buying these coins only encourages these sellers to continue this behavior. The cost of Q. David Bowers book on Mercury dimes is a heck of a lot cheaper than $300. Not everything is on the internet.
Déjà vu all over again...
Just read a forum post recently on others of this type for sale.
Just terrible fakes.... Run Forrest run.... Cheers, RickO
One just has to love the though of "in Cod We Trust." Sounds fishy.
ditto!
