    Not cleaned but ms61 at best from the photos IMO...also looks like Christopher Walken kept that baby right where he kept his best friends watch as a POW during Nam ;)

    It looks original to me (not an expert here!) not the prettiest of coins but not bad either.

    I feel like it's all original, but less than appealing IMO. The coin does have nice mirrors, but the mottled toning and the massive amount of bag marks are very distracting.

    I'd definitely pass on that coin. Finding PL or even DMPL early S mint coins is not all that difficult and that one has more than 1 issue.

    Not choice uncirculated and would be a stretch to call select uncirculated.

    Obviously the slab on this one is a sham, but what about the coin itself. I know the 80/81 S coins are graded on a curve, but this one looks pretty clean.

    No on both. No on the second one just because of the seller.
