So let me get this straight... You just got them but you want to know if you should get them?

I can't tell just by looking at a dried mushroom. Anything I said would just be a wild guess.
By the way, you mean "what species", not strain right? The two words mean something totally different.

i'm guessing if they were bought they are most likely cubes...or at the very least not poisonous.

I'm not sure those are even an active species. It's hard to tell, but I would say don't buy any more of those.

I'm glad your okay. When I first saw them I was thinking that the homeless guy in the park was picking random mushrooms, drying them out and selling them to unsuspecting people.

Hahahaha 
My sentiments exactly!
I don't see a veil, nothing about those dried mushrooms looks like cubensis. But if they're active they're active. Maybe azures, cyans, caerulipes, weilii, who the hell knows with such a dried specimen.

Since noone can really tell and you say these are active I'll go with Ps. cyanescens.
The next time you take some could you do me a favour? - I have a theory/method that could be a "better than nothing test if your gonna eat them anyway" type thing for the next person in a similar situation. When I eat dried Ps. Subaeruginosa I always have them mixed with a small amount of water - and the water always goes a detectable shade of blue from the psiolcybin "leeching" out.
When you take them next could you please do the same - ie chop up a mushroom and with say 3-4 tablespoons of water and mix for a minute or two, then hold up to the light? I'm trying to work out how common this trait is to the rest of the psilocybe family.
Oh and glad they were active!

The thickness of the stipe and the coloration rule out Psilocybe cyanescens in my opinion.

Yeah its just the wavyness I was going on, these kinda remind me of those albino cubensis' with the shape of the cap and general look. Who knows.  Bloody hell $200 an ounce! Is this a normal price?
