Those are all coins you would see in gold but its impossible to tell from photos if they are real. Don't know the context of your question. If you found them in your family collection, my guess would be real. If you are trying to buy them, I would have them verified at a coin shop or jewelry store to be safe. If real, several of them are possibly worth more than spot but not significantly unless in exceptional condition. Either way, a professional opinion should be sought. I only buy PCGS or NGC certified versions.

It's hard to see from the pic what's genuine and what's not. I'm not sure why you're asking this question. Are you planning to buy them?

Impossible to tell if they are real or fake. All of those are available in mass amounts from china as fakes.

The U.S. gold coins - particularly the $10 Indian coins ,can be worth considerably more than gold value ! This is also true for some Twenty Dollar pieces .

The owner (used to be gold trader) passed away and his children found those in his personal belongings. Another family relative bought them all at weight value after checking they are really gold. But he has no experience in their non-weight value. He approached us asking about that. We still have more photos. I will try to post them all. Thank you for everyone commented. They are not in the US.

The luster looks right on most of them! Maybe they are real, but impossible to tell from photos. Good luck!

I would check online for the value of those coins. Some could be scarce or rare. If you can buy the rarer type at the melt value it could be worth it.

With all the variety ( now the British golds also) I think you are looking at genuine , and rather valuable coins !! Now your task is to identify every coin for date , mintmark (if applicable ) ,condition , and original population minted . The major factors affecting value for any coin are : condition , original population ,and if it can be determined- surviving population .I think you have a major treasure here !

if you are in Mexico or somewhere close, check the pieces on EBAY for each of those coins by date and the LOWEST price offered. that will give you a quick idea of value. if you do not know what a specific coin is called post it with a question as to identification. you have a nice collection there with a rough guess value of 80,000 on the low end...but it is hard to tell just what all you have there.
