Shill bidding is rampant, IMO.
Mainebill has a point. That is a really scarce Trade Dollar. Fixing the hole would help, but I worry about the amount of rim damage and how well...
A valuable error now that it's missing its outer layer!
That '43 is superb!

genuine, xf, and can't tell anything from scans about surface condition except that it probably hasn't been cleaned with Brillo or a belt sander....

I think #2 would look best in an album. Coin #1 is interesting as a conversation piece due to the "eclipse" toning and I would put it into one of...
I prefer the top set as the contrast is more tolerable. I think it may grade MS63. These are tiny coins and enlarged to this extent makes tiny...
agree with Vf 20 approx.
The one in the date isn't centered over a dentil, therefor a fake.

Thinking about the terms themselves. "Overrated" seems to me a way of saying, people are paying too much for "x" relative to availability. It...
Fakes like this are dangerous; they would never fool a TPG or a collector with some basic knowledge and a loupe, but they can sell easily on eBay...
I agree with Mainebill, surfaces very porous due to casting, lettering too rounded/bloated for a genuine coin.
Separate names with a comma.
