Looking closely...I see some area for concern. Wear or evidence of a fake?

I've bought about 50 Morgans in Rome. They all weigh right, diameter is exact, and they all ping on the app. I have seen about 100+ fakes. They are all well underweight ... Usually 22-25 g, off by a millimeter or two when stacked, none have pinged on the app, and the lettering has casting bubbles and holes.

I am curious to hear and learn more...

79 looks authentic to me, but cleaned. I just see a series of hits on the lettering that are causing it to look the way it does (in your last image). VF Details, cleaned.

Thanks @ty. That's what I thought. Finding uncleaned coins in Italy is near impossible.

The 79 looks genuine to me.

So ... Presuming the 79 and 03-s are authentic. What is a fair retail price for them at an LCS?

based on my grade of VG10 the 09S maybe retail at an LCS $120US
the 79S is common coin in high grades and would not have a collector premium. maybe $25

@pan. I am very surprised by that! I paid €90 for the 03-S,79, and two WLHs.
