Take a look at my newp and let me know your thoughts on grade. It was photographed in a case, so there are some scratches on the plastic at around 10-11 o'clock obverse side that are not on the coin. There is also one large scratch on the plastic at about 1 o'clock obverse side. I'm not a huge fan of they way this one has toned, but it's still attractive in hand and it sure looks really clean to me.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

I say MS 63, or AU 58 if it has wear.

I provided large photos so an accurate grade could be assessed. There is no wear on this coin.

The back is what I am concerned about. It might make MS 64.

I really like this toning on this one, to be honest.

I'll say MS65FB.

MS65, borderline FB, could go either way there.

Kind of split on this one! I'm guessing MS-63 or 64, and not sure about FB on the top as SilverStackerKid pointed out. The strike are somewhat weak on this one comparing to other 1920, but is attractive to me with the toning, doesn't bother me a bit.
