That's a counterfeit.
I'll tackle the coins in the order that you have them imaged. They all suffer from either blurry images or compression problems, but here is what...
I don't know what coin shows you are going to, but those that I do are heavily populated with collectors.
You were definitely thinking proof coinage.
The Red Book has values listed because of tradition, because many new collectors don't know of the other sources and this is their primary source...

The coin isn't rare, simply expensive. This makes me wonder why you would potentially walk through a minefield to purchase one.
Decades of experience in the coin market have taught me that PCGS grades slightly more conservatively and slightly more consistently than any...
In my opinion, it looks horrible.
It looks like secondary market packaging. The MS ASEs were sold in tubes of 20 by the US Mint. I do not know if at the time they also required...
That is exactly how they make their money.
Separate names with a comma.
