As I expected Drusus, I do understand your thinking they might be the same but they are not. And the spots on your coin could be removed with a...
If the coin has Proof like fields that would explain the cleaned look. Hairlines can often be found on coins with Proof like fields due to several...
The 3 coin set of what ?
I think the bad hit on the cheek will hold it to a 63. As for the designation, that depends on what standard you use. PCGS might say DMPL but I...

Tell ya what, post a pic of just the coin you think is sintered. But post pics of both the obverse and reverse so we can see the color difference...
