Hello all,
I got some coins of my dad and I have zero knowledge in foreign coins and I could use your help to tell if they are legit!
They all sticked to a magnet and their weight in grams...
Coin #1 = 17,67g, #2 = 17,76g, #3 = 18,63g, #4 = 17,06g

Coin # 5= 18,06g, #6 = 18,40g, #7 = 18,45g, #8 = 17,55g

Coin # 9= 17,56g, #10 = 18,44g, #11 = 17,73g, #12 = 17,61g

I believe the last coin is fake since I do not believe that is a real coin design from what I have read, but I am not sure.
Any help is much appreciated :thumbsup:
 
The Morgan and the Peace silver dollar coin should each weigh 26.73g; yours weigh 17.61.
I don't think I need go further.

I think you answered your own question

Thanks all for the help, then it was as i suspected but it is nice with other opinions when you are not sure!

I'd destroy these coins if I were you.
 
I agree with everyone! I see the exact same coins make the rounds at the Flea Markets. They are Chinese Counterfeits probably made in Shanghai where most Counterfeited coins come from.
