I have zero expertise in this series - so please accept the following opinions as general knowledge gained from many years collecting.
Lovely coin that is quite free from field hits. Overall high point wear has me at XF45. The rub/wear is most noticeable on the reverse wreath.
Beautiful coin - an example that I would enjoy to own.

I agree with nickelsearcher on this one, and for the same reasons.

Attractive piece that's not showing much luster. I'd guess AU50.

Very nice coin! And a very difficult series to grade. Soft strikes are the norm and I have no idea how to tell whether missing detail is wear or was never there at all. PCGS photograde isn't much help here.
The luster gives some clue -- there's some but not a lot. AU 53?

It's out of my wheelhouse, but it is a beauty. Regardless of grade, it has solid eye appeal.

AU-50 at least, maybe a notch higher depending on luster. Sharp detail and minor contact marks. Some definite rub on high points on both sides. Really nice piece!

They got it right, I think. On the fence between 55 and 58.

EXACTLY! Considering that no photo really captures the beauty (or ugliness) of a coin in hand, these guys are incredible.

Very nice. A high end coin for AU-55.
