I think this is EF to AU, but know little about the series so any help on what to look for when grading is appreciated!   |

The coin is showing some circulation rub on the cheek and neck. A little wear appears to be present in the breast feathers on the reverse. The coin is showing some luster from your photos. The fields show very little contact. The dark toning on the reverse could be environmental damage.

AU-58, nice reverse die cracks above NI, TAT, and F through the eagle's wing. Obv. has nice die cracks left and right through stars and down to date. Doubling on left stars and (maybe) date?
16 berry reverse; are the edge reeds spread wide or more narrow?

This thing has die cracks everywhere... No doubling on date or left stars, probably reflection with my lighting. No clue what 16 berry means, and it is in a 2x2, but I can remove if needed to check reeding.

53 easy, maybe 55. A nice, lightly circulated 1921 example.

AU-53, just because of the breast feathers on the reverse.

AU55/58. Nice die cracks but this one isn't listed in the '21 crack guide (at least at this stage) so it would be a search and destroy mission to attribute.

I would agree with 55 at worst. Nice-looking coin.

Just enough high point abrasion to drop it to AU55 - not that for this issue there'd be hardly $1 worth of difference at retail within the entire AU range.
