Another one up for opinions is this 1883 5c NO CENTS coin. I was guessing low UNC, say MS 61/62? I am not always the best... better at Dollars than other denominations.

I'll say AU-55. Seems to be a touch of wear in the hair under the crown. And maybe its the camera, but the luster seems dull IMO. However, some cool die cracks on both sides make this a great coin :)

Thank you. Initially I thought AU, but then decided it must be at least MS 60, but I trust your judgment over mine! The luster is definitely there, though not super flashy.

Strike weakness on these can often look like wear. Hard to tell for sure from these photos if there is a break in the luster, which would make it AU. My guess is this one would make MS-62.

Older dies lose some of the top details, but if the luster is complete a 62 would be easy.

Have to agree. This a really tough one to grade from pics.
