Just looking at them. Once you become familiar with coins like these it is often obvious when you see a fake. For one thing they are too perfect...
Kinda depends - is the corrosive material still on the coins ? If it is, it needs removed. What you use to remove it depends on what it is. Can...
66* :bigeyes: :bigeyes: I agree with Conder.
In hand that toning is going to appear very dark. You will only see that color if the coin is tilted just right and even then it will appear very...

The pics are out of focus, but based on what I can see I don't think that coin would be PL. The fields just don't seem to have enough...

If there is any wear on that coin I sure can't see it. I'd say it's a solid 64.
I'd say you want to know if the strike is really that weak. That's the weakest strike I've ever seen on what appears to be an MS Jeff. You...
Ya know spock, I can't figure out why you say you have stopped. Your still buying coins. Yeah, you changed what you are buying, but buying is...
I would say the coin would grade low AU, value under $10.
