    Welcome Swoosh
    Might be a good idea to weight the US dollar first as there are a lot of Chinese fakes going around
    The dollar should weight close to 27 grams; if around 20 -25 grams bring it back and get a refund as it's a fake

    I am going out on a limb here but they look like fakes to me ?

    Central mint with a QV obverse 1930 :(

    Dollar, wrong eagle for that year... Keep them as a reminder :)

    The 'silver dollar' is without a doubt fake. It has a seated liberty obverse with a Morgan reverse. Did you try a magnet bet an ounce of AG that it jumps out of your hand.
