Mr1bear,
Welcome to the forum. As you noticed, this area is replete with high quality fakes.
Unfortunately, the "symptoms" that you describe have been taken into account by fakers, and are no longer an indication of genuineness.
The best advice that I can give you is to post large, sharp, detailed individual pictures of the front and back of each badge. Then members will be able to give you some sort of opinion.
By the way, any of the defects you mentioned will obviously affect the monetary value of such a badge.
