I love these wholesome scarce collector grade coins! These grades are really hard to find the low mintage issues in!

Yes, it definitely looks like PMD especially at the top of the arc.
However, the raised metal is not damage, it was not caused by an object hitting the coin and pushing up the metal. The raised metal was part of the the original strike and you can see it under magnification.
Yes, for a details coin the 1843-O did well! It was sad to see it go, because it had such nicely struck up stars and central leaf detail. The other thing is that only 4 AUs and 2 BUs exist in PCGS as straight grades. The PCGS plate coin is an AU-50, which is not struck as well as this coin. However that one is certainly more valuable
Your 1847 is a V-4a or V-4b, based on the obverse die cracks. V-4b has light reverse die cracks at D, A1, S2, A2, and I'm not sure if they are there, based on the photo.
Your 1860-o is V-1a based on the mint mark position, crack to right ribbon, and lack of crack to corn leaf. It may be R-7 for this middle die state, although the cracks are light and difficult to see on older auction photos. https://sites.google.com/view/clintcummins/half-dime-attribution-guide
This is a fairly new purchase & only the 3rd Seated Quarter I own. The toning is exquisite & quite natural on this very lustrous tough date in the series. The gold CAC affirmation is not altogether surprising considering the minimal marks noted under strong magnification. I’m guessing this piece was held in a long time collection; the holder is pristine & appears to be freshly made.

Beautiful coin. Its exciting to have a gold cac holder too!
Some nice rare coins in this set 1872-cc $1,1855 $1, 1860-O 10c, 1846 5c! I've had each of those at some point. Had the 1860-O dime for about 30 years.

It's all PMD, as @yosclimber explained.
An old score
Your 43-o did particularly well, Ken. Congrats!

Picked these two up recently in GC Auctions;
