Per PCGS; Notice the term is "without wear". Scratches, bag marks, even hammer marks, chisel marks are not wear.
As a 1908, yes. As a 1908-S, not even close
They are starting. This one is gone anyway.
And that is why grading is an art not a science. FWIW, if it is AU, I would say 55
I do not believe I am seeing any wear. I think it is all from a weak striking. The fact that the details are not there does not mean they have...
I got them all, but I could not find the answer for #4. Your answer for #3 is most interesting. You say Bedford Avenue and Dean Street....

Got out the loupe and a flashlight. That is a hair INSIDE the slab.

More than "structure", its turnover. Walmart is the Epitome of efficiency. The last I heard, they get 9¢ of every dollar they sell for profit,...
