Basically, I have been working on a type set for a while, with digressions here and there. I'll post some of my type coins now and then, please...
Fridge magnets? I think that's a great idea! just scratch 'fake' or 'copy' on there somewhere in case somebody gets ahold of them later and has...
I thought a Fine grade appropriate, mainly because the cap is very worn, the lock of hair on the neck blends into the neck, and the drapery around...

I'd say you did very well with that one!
The first and third trade dollars could be real, but would have to be examined closely to be sure. The third coin also appears to have markings in...
Very attractive, nice details!
