Honestly...just look at it. No lustre, flat surface color, yet it is very white...

It's not worth sending in - you'll never recoup the cost.

I will post a pic once I get them back probably Tuesday next week.
By the way the pictures didn't do this coin any justice what so ever, there wasn't a single mark on the reverse and just a tiny wear or weak strike in te hair.

Of course there aren't any marks. They've been polished away.
