The coin looks OK to me but I believe it is over-graded. I'd say AU.
A good question. About all you could do would be to take the coin to a dealer and have him authenticate and grade the coin for you. Or have a TPG...
Verdigris.
And you think it would take less time to photograph each coin ? When it comes down to it pics are not proof of ownership, they only mean you...

A set is anything you want it to be ;)
Lol !!
