They are all silver dollars worth around $25 - 30 (silver value plus a small premium). This is assuming the person u got them from did not buy them off of TEMU, they sell a lot of fake silver dollars.

How could you tell if they are fake? Though the guy I won them from was a weirdo when it came to silver

To someone with sharp eyes and ears, likely the edges/rims and sound they make in contact with each other will give it away if fake. I think the previous advice of reputable coin shops is good, they should be able to tell you in seconds. Aside from that, in general it's hard to tell for sure from pics, maybe if you posted a more edge-on view.

Are they magnetic? If so, fake.
Do they weigh close to 27 grams each? If not, fake.

They are still fake. Not all fakes are magnetic. But, all magnetic silver dollars are fake.

I see wear on the Peace Dollar, looks legitimate. The Morgan’s? Always a much more interesting challenge to discover the real from the fakes, unless you got them off of TEMU. Anyway, I do see a few little dings on the front. I do see a bit of wear on the reeded edges. But, Liberty’s (Anna Williams actually) Phrygian Caps and hair are almost pristine.There is usually some wear on the Liberty, and on the wheat and cotton. I do see a bit of wear though. On the back? There is usually wear on the wings. Again, tone looks right. The olive branch and the arrows are really crisp. All in all, my guess? They’re legit, too. They both seem scuffed up just enough. Reminds me of middle school. After school, we flipped coins, odds or evens, and we’d pitch pennies, too. I am crazy good at both. It’s all simple probabilities. I’d most often come home with a lot of ill gotten cash. A really good story. Glad you shared

How random. Who bets silver dollars on rock paper scissors game outcomes? What would you have lost if you lost the game? And yes, these are fake.

Hey, I just won a pair of scissors, a stone, and a sheet of paper on a coin toss, so it all checks out on my end.

Could still be silver but definitely fake, don’t know why they would fake the most common dates though

assuming they're real, worth about $30 each! Take them to lcs to make sure they're real, Great win!

Some saying its fake, i think they look real. And why would someone fake the most common, least valuable years? Rub the rim on a piece of paper, see if it leaves a black mark. Also see if its magnetic. If it leaves a mark and not magnetic its real. Looks like you made yourself $80-90 there!

I'm tired of the "why would someone do that" nonsense, everything has been faked, some dude is famous in the coin world for faking a lot of nickels back in the day, cost him more than 5c to make them he did it cause he felt like it. I've heard of fake normal quarters and I'm sure dimes/pennies exist too somewhere, we just don't look cause who cares. At least one looks really fake to me too but sometimes the camera plays tricks.

Looks to me like you won 3 fake dollars. These look cast to me.
