I don't believe from the images that any of them are proofs and the Kennedy does not have the accented hair. And Rick, the 1964 SMS set did NOT...
1. Around 3X face sems to be the going rate, maybe a little more for mintmarked ones. 2. yes I would but I would prefer vinegar soaked ones...
Did you examine at the other 39 coins in the roll? Did you examine the coin that you put in in place of the 1944? If you can answer NO to both...
And they probably wouldn't do anything about it. They have never made a move to recover the Toven 1974 aluminum cent and that has been through...
The one just above is a custom label made for a major submitter, it isn't a label just anyone can get for a coin they send in. To get a custom...

You would have to look up the other coins in the submission. If you check out the others and several different coin types it is probably base,...
