LOL. Just LOL. You are COMPLETELY ignoring the many general patterns the coins had as they evolved. The rims I mentioned were generally on every...
It’s okay. Nothing stellar. Weakly-struck. Not quite gem. MS-64
The number of marks looks 67, but there is absolutely nothing special about the coin to push it up to that level (luster, etc.) MS-66 FT

Provenances can be made up. Ebay is not the only source of fakes. I’m talking about the style, not the dimensions. Casting is a very imprecise...

That was my “generous” grade. I still believe it should be lower. Owned? 0. Examined? Hundreds. Both real and fake. But a fraction of what...
Even if the the only “wear” on the high points is due to coin-on-coin friction (which can’t be confirmed from the photos), a ton of the luster was...
‘Tis a ~1920 King by H. N. White. I sold that one and bought an 1895 Conn that plays about 200% better.
