I think I see some slight wear on her knee and head so I will say AU 58. Another beautiful addition to your set Moe.

I think it might be a somewhat flat strike and might be a MS60-61, but if not I go AU58. Beautiful coin!

I think MS-61/62 unless there is a light area of surface rub, which I don't see from the photos, nice coin.

Unc details as per the pics, would need less glare to judge originality and possibility of slight wear.

This is my first time seeing this thread. First of all, a beautiful coin Moe!
Before looking at the grade, the coin to me, appeared dipped; obverse more so than the reverse was slightly lack luster and appeared micro-granular.
I do not think it was cleaned as NGC suggests.
All in all, it's a great looking coin, worthy of any Seated set.
