I find these a greatly under appreciated series.
How would you grade this guy? I picked it up last week.

That is a well struck Half Dime. I'd guess AU55 with the luster being critical. It could go MS with full luster.

Looks MS to me, probably the 62-63 range.

Looks to be close to MS60+, very nice coin. I've grown to appreciate this series a lot more too. I picked up a Mid-AU 1860 raw example with some nice crusty toning.

Nice coin! I was going to guess AU-55 but I am not at all surprised at AU-58. The luster is just a bit hard to make out from the photos.

Appears to be the slightest bit of friction on her thigh and bow.
Nice!
