I would check out the extensive listings that Forvm has on fake coins in the Greek section, and if you have attribution information, this will be fairly easy. Greeks are not my expertise, so I will leave it to others to tell you their opinions.

Nothing to suggest to me that there is any problem with these coins and neither is matched to any known fakes. The Histiaia was struck with a worn and rusty obverse die and is distinctively different (authentic) compared to the abundant fakes of this type.

Based on the photos I'd say they are authentic.
