Thanks realeswatcher. I did see the other modern forgeries mixed in the seller's other items... made me a bit worried about this coin but looked like a "legitimate" enough CCC (as you said) to take a shot. Could be an expensive lesson. I hope to get an XRF test eventually to see if the silver shows anything modern.
I had the same thought on re-engraving on the 8R and 1811. I'll have to try to get better pictures - under my cheap magnifying glass it looks like a weak strike but I am not knowledgeable enough to diagnose subtle tooling.
