I see nothing other than bag marks on the obverse.

I pay AU 50 for that one no more due to the bugger in front of the nose. Feathers and diamonds look really nice.

AU-50. Hits on the obverse are distracting.

I'd like to see this with corrected color (as shown can't be right), but even if perfect brown, I think $41 is way too high given the obverse digs.

Another disappointment today. As our illustrious coinfrog had surmised, the surfaces were not pictured in a way that accurately reflected the coin. The main problem is the wear in the cheek of Liberty. Color was way off and there is discoloration in the lower left of the reverse. Seller accepted the return and it is making its way back. Sigh!

This is a very interesting coin despite the surface issues you noted.
The obverse die has been extensively polished to remove die clash marks, creating a nice middle stage "vanishing neck" where the neckline merges with the fields; some of the clash marks are still faintly visible on the reverse (K2/K9 and within some of the reverse letters.) You can see die wear at the date, most notably the rim and denticles in that area. You can also see rust pitting around the shield, and underneath the arrowhead.
My sharpness grade would be AU55.
