Silver American Eagles.
If purchasing Silver American Eagles from an unknown source (especially the Internet/Facebook) BEWARE, there are fakes out there and they are extremely good, especially posted at very low prices. I am pretty sure these came from China. They will pass most tests, including the magnet test. Please be AWARE.
Below is a sample...on the left the coin is fake (listed at $9.98). on the right the coin is legitimate. The only thing I found different to denote the fake, on the reverse of the coin, look at the “U” in United. The left has a rounded bottom, the right has the vertical edge on the right of the U.
