Here's another one I've owned for over thirty years. Just took it out of the original holder. There are two small dings on the rim which I tried to capture with the angle pic. UNC is the only description on the holder.

These photos make it very tough to give an opinion, at least from me. If you cut all the background out of your photo and leave just the coin, it will make the coin much easier to examine. Likewise, shoot the coin straight on rather than at an angle, as it makes determining the luster breaks, if any, much harder to gauge.

In this instance I see what APPEARS to be luster breaks in the external fields of the obverse, and what APPEARS to be rub at the center of the reverse on the wing feathers. Peace dollars are tough enough to grade from great photos, but I wouldn't hazard a guess from these.

Sorry on the photos. I'm using my IPhone. I can tell you that there is NO rub on the wings. As far as luster breaks on the obverse, I'm not sure if I see any. If there are it would be on the neck, a tad bit below the hair. It looks like a small, somewhat darker, cloudier, region. What's really noticeable is the absence of chatter which I see a lot of on GSA ms-62,63,and 64 morgans.

I does look like a classic "Slider" - AU-58. Most of your reverse pics show apparent rub across the breast feathers.
