Surfaces look circulated.

From the picture, the surfaces of the obverse look a little irregular (could be bag marks) and the vertical pearls on the crown look slightly rubbed, although that could just be the effect of the lighting on the mylar.

If no rub, I would give it MS60. If rub, AU58.

Again, hard to tell from the picture. If there is any wear on the jewels, moustache tip, eye brow, or shoulder robe, then I would go with AU58. If there is no wear, I would say MS63. Too many little marks, especially on the rim to go 64.

Beautiful lustre on this one. Erring on the side of picky, there seems to be some rim irregularities along the top.

If there was no wear, this coin would be MS60.

However, I think this coin has seen some circulation.
The king's beard and jacket are a little indistinct.
Obverse die wear also has had some part to play in the appearance of this coin.

It has retained most of it's attractive radial mint lustre.

AU55 to 58 range.

The detail at the top of the right hand leaf is a little flat, but I can't really make up my mind if it is wear or not.
Seems to be no wear anywhere else.
Beard detail is a little indistinct, but that may be due to a slightly worn die.

That's a great coin and still lots of red in it.

That looks like a nice little extra piece of copper at the 10 o'clock rim. Few marks and/or scratches on it but is should/hope it be MS anyway.
