Really out of my comfert zone here, but I will hazard a guess.
From the pic I am going to say AU-50... with little confidence...

My guess is MS-62.
This coin has quite a few die breaks, interesting

hmmm... my first attempt at grading!
I don't see much wear on the details (especially on the feathers and on the shield) so I will say MS63
** and yeah! It looks like the reverse legend is connected by a massive die break!

Interesting coin, reverse die cracks, etc... I see slight wear on the hair, right knee cap, eagles left wing and talon. I'm going to say AU-58 on this one.

I can't believe that, that's all it graded. PCGS was out to lunch that day.

I saw the wear too and would have said AU-53 at LEAST...if he had a return policy I would have gone a bit higher than that...
You know, sometimes they make the coin look way better than the pictures.

I think I would agree with the EF-45 grade. There is slight but definite wear on both sides: obverse stars, Liberty's head and right thigh, and E of LIBERTY; reverse arrowheads and the eagle's talons, legs, and right (facing) wing feathers. Traces of luster remain, especially on the reverse. The very pale centers suggest the coin was dipped white long ago and has nicely retoned around the rims. Obviously any concern about cleaning was not severe enough for PCGS to reject the coin for grading.
It's an attractive coin with cool die cracks but is not seriously undergraded, IMO.

I don't know, I looked on heritage at a few EF coins, and this seemed to have much better detail. What's up with that?

I would have paid the extra 5 bucks for the die cracks, that reverse is wicked!
