  I'll guess the last one, the 1840.

  I love the 3 P's: PB&J, PBR and PCGS.

  Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
  1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
  Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

  The bullet hole in Liberty's torso is certainly call for an X-Lap (and possibly an autopsy) but this is one of those common "gashed shield" fakes with the gouge through the I of LIBERTY.

  Probably real but harshly cleaned. Hard to tell from his pics.
  
  The 1840 Silver $1 is an obvious fake. You can see a raised blob of metal on the obverse in the upper right corner. Of course there are many other problems with this coin.

  The 1840 dollar is definitely bad. I am not a fan of the 1856 dime, but it's probably okay.
  
  The 20 cent piece looks genuine to me.

  Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

  the 1856 dime is actually a half dime, the flat obv denticles for that date are the rule not the exception, making them appear to be fake

  regardless of how many posts I have, I don't consider myself an "expert" at anything

  I reported the 1840 dollar as counterfeit to Ebay. Others should also report it because I think numbers count. I sent an Ebay message to the seller about the coin likely being counterfeit, but I haven't received any response.

  I heard back from the seller. I bet he bought it at a very good deal. I looked in sold auctions and couldn't find his coin being previously sold. Either he bought it awhile ago or this is his cover story.
  
  I need to report this to eBay. I bought this on eBay and obviously got taken. I am going to look up the seller and report them. thank you for letting me know about this.
