Yep the first two were solid coins but it looks like my pricing when buying was on the high end.
That is definitely true! I would also lean towards this one above the one you sold. And the "Pillar Dollar" is one of those coins that I believe...
Cool coin and nothing about it looks doctored to me. The environment it was in (for an extended time) caused that look.
