I'll say AU-50, just a stab.

AU50'ish

(And it's an 1856, not 1846 as titled.)

I think this one is AU-55 with some strike weakness.

Fantastic Dahlonega coin!

Soft central strike, with better peripheral strike. The peripheral details are AU-53 obverse, AU-55 reverse. Tough call between those two grades.

I could see PCGS making a contact mark / eye appeal adjustment to AU-53 here, but my instincts tell me this should land at AU-55, and likely would trade there on a bourse floor.

Barely gets away with no comments, due to the number of detracting dings, wear consistent with
EF-45.

I have to agree with Sel_69.

I can see this coin straight grading, but to call it AU would involve ignoring all the distracting marks on this coin.

EF-40 or EF-45

I was gonna guess xf45, should have considered the branch mint soft strikes. Nice pickup those are hard to find.
