It could just be someone was bored and messing around.
That is a great start to an incomplete planchet collection! Now you need to get some doubles and triples. Besides the straight edge that...
I don't know where you are selling, but almost everything on Great Collections and Heritage starts at a dollar, and nobody worries about them.
It is an improvement, for sure! Keep playing around with your lights, it isn't 100% perfect yet but that second picture is definitely better.

Yes, I think PCGS got it right. The uniform pale whiteness would be another indicator for me, although it does appear to be re-gaining patina in...
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the white spots on the top one left obverse field. That would have killed my interest in it - even though...
