I don't think the prices are out of line. If you were to spend an extra, say, $40 per coin you could get examples with more meat on them though....
Just going off my phone I'd say AU50-53 and got some hits. I basically agree with your assessment.
I personally think you could have a more attractive set if the coins match for grade and appearance, rather then "highest grade I can get for...
I agree, almost certainly fake. Doesn't even look silver, portrait is just "off", there appears to be some raised dots and marks in the obverse...

If this was a GTG I might guess 63+PL. A lot depends on what that cheekbone rub looks like in hand....and the obverse fields might be marginal for...
If you use the search feature here you should find many discussions on cleaning coins.
You could put up some pics for better opinions. But the truth is many new collectors like their coins "shiny", but a circulated coin doesn't look...
Generally an acetone soak is about all you can do without de-valuing a circulated coin.
It's not problem free, but for a few bucks, it's an interesting counterstamped coin.
Most at least look circulated, so they shouldn't be this bright and shiny.
Very nice!
