Where did you get these? There are lots of ridiculously rare coins in here that unless you were a professional collector you would probably never get. It's hard to tell from the picture and I don't want to be pessimistic but if they came from the same lot there would be a lot of fakes.
Hello, these coins are not mine, but my friend`s coins. He get these coins directly from China, he travels a lot around the world and he says that these coins are 100% genuine, NOT fakes or copies. They are not from same lot. He asked me to help to identify as many of them, as possible.
30, 31, and 32 are probably fake, since knife coins are very commonly faked coins, and these look like modern castings. 30 looks like a contemporary counterfeit: has the wear of a circulating coin, unlike most modern counterfeits, but has a non-existing design.
28 is a Yunnan 5 cent coin, year 21. It looks like a very well-copied fake, would need to see the reverse to confirm.
What you have here is a variety of very rare (and all real) Tibetian coins, a couple of hard-to-find "Fat Man" dollars, uncommon and desirable Chinese commemoratives, 3 cash coins, and several fake silver and copper coins (and a cast amulet), very rare coins if they were real.

Many thanks for your help friends. Can you tell me what is approximately value/price of these "extremely rare" coins, when they are genuine/real? Is it hundreds of US dollars, or much more...?
