Wear, cabinet friction, shelf rub: they are all different terms for 'wear'.
This coin AU50.

Wear on hair in front of the ear most obvious.

Great looking coin. Looks like a bit of air on braid in front of ear, but that could be light and shadow as well as the fine detailed lines are not obvious. Top of hair looks really nice.

I find these ones are tough to photograph, as the visible details really depend on the light. Easy AU, maybe MS. try some shots at different angles.

Same thing cabinet friction is wear. That said what a pleasing coin you have there .

I agree wear is wear. Can only comment on the half a coin we can see where is the reverse? Obverse is nice as mentioned.
