Most of these coins are from the 1800s.

Take the coins to a coin dealer or get a copy of the "Red Book" from your local library. You could also take them to a coin club meeting and see what they say. Again you could see if a dealer knows about a local coin club or you could try the ANA web site at money.org to search for a coin club in your area.

Well is they are not rare coins, they are real. Few people counterfeited small change that had no extra or only a small extra value. If a coin sells for say $20 and it takes you $10 or more to make a fake, then getting caught is not worth it. Now I am taking about U.S. coins. There are a lot of fake Oriental coins coming into the U.S. as well as fake American Trade and Seated Liberty Dollars. The best thing to do is see a coin dealer, go to one that is not busy and he or she should help you, if not go to another. Most are willing to help anyone but there are a few dealers that give the hobby a bad name. They are few though. You will find that paper money is a great target for counterfeiters.

Go to the library and compare your coins to the books.
