There looks to be a touch of abrasion to the tip of Liberty's Phrygian cap and possibly also to her hair above the ear (closeup shots of these areas would help me be sure on this), so I'd tentatively say "slider" and AU58.

The images are overexposed and that makes it difficult to gauge the quality of the surfaces. Could be AU, but I think likely MS. Not very high MS from those images, though, due to subdued luster.

MorganGrader, I don't know if you saw my other thread, but you picked it perfectly.

I'm seeing MS 62 or MS 61. It's hard to see the chatter with the overexposure.

Even though I can't make out the luster, the surfaces look good. MS63 at least.

MS-63 or 64 if the luster is there.

Low MS for me. I would try to get better pics that show the luster better.

On the basis of the better photos, I'll revise my assessment to a solid MS63, and I've seen similar come back MS64.

With the new pics I see this as a 64.

UNC details, PVC damage. Try an acetone dip to get that haze off the reverse.
