Still absorbing knowledge but will attempt this on my own also. Will appreciate your reasoning behind the grade you give. I'm between AU55 & MS60. Don't know if is minor wear in the hair or weak strike. Reverse looks MS60 but then again what do I know.

another nice coin, It looks like there is some slight wear on the heads so I would say this is AU, but it could just be from weak strikes too.

I would go with the AU55 grade. Very attractive piece that appears lightly circulated.

It looks like some slight wear on her knee and shoulder curls, hair and talons look like strike issues, AU 58.

I would go with AU-55/58. Looks like there is some wear on the right knee and a bit of friction in the fields. Nice coin!

I would go with AU-50 because there is wear on Liberty's head, slight wear on the breasts on the obverse. Also some scratches and friction on the fields on the obverse. Light wear on the left claw and on the right claw, slight wear on one of the "toes". That is a very nice coin, I wish I had one like it.
Rest in Peace

I would say AU, fields look lightly circulated.

I also see light wear on the head and thigh and some friction in the fields. It looks a lot like my 1874 which is graded AU-55 by PCGS, so that would be my vote.
