Looks 100% original to me based on your pics.
I'm treating myself soon to a coin purchase beyond and outside my usual coin budget. I have several candidates. For coins 1-4, I have specific...
Photos look a little over-lit or over-exposed. But, based on what I can see, I'll guess MS65.
Neat! Looks like 1840 and 1844 are both about equally rare, right? Also, nice half dime and half dollar! :)

Interesting. They look like wax impressions.
I get all the emails I'm supposed to get. I have some of them turned off.
Hairlined? Really? I don't see anything wrong with that coin in that picture.
Good points. I'm currently collecting classic silver commems by type for partly that reason (the others being historical significance, a varied...
Woohoo! :) Thanks to everyone who participated, and @stldanceartist for the contest! I'm sending my PM momentarily. :-)
