I'd already attributed all of these (you are right about the one in row 3 - the condition was beyond my ability to take a wild guess).

My LRB attribution skills are very "newbie" but I felt fairly confident at the time (last month). Now I am worried!:nailbiting: I was wondering what was going on with the obverse strike - a double-strike or just random post-production damage? - I'm not sure. It's an ugly one.
