Hi Kenneth,
The coins in the images appear to be legit. I've had these types of dollars/ngc holders before. If in our shop we'd be selling in the $40 range per unit. Hope this helps.
Yes, the following is a canned response designed to help the novice collector with general information. If you need more explanation or you feel my answer is to short, please call me or reply with a more specific question.

Information given about values is general and determined by current market conditions and/or the price of metals. Prices and values are subject to change.
Please remember to never clean coins, this can damage and lessen their value. Also, soft plastics can contain harmful chemicals that can react with coins over time. Try using inert materials when storing coins. Plus, it is always a good idea to store coins in a safe. The safe should not be exposed to the elements and should not be up against a wall to the outside. These are just a few tips I have learned over the years to help keep your collection in top shape.
