From the photos it looks like a few scrapes or marks of some kind between the N and A, some hairlines in the field in front of the head. Looks about 64 to me otherwise.

Yes, better pics would be helpful to assign a grade but it definitely looks cleaned and/or polished.

Between the two set of images I'm thinking MS62 is best case scenario on the 48. The fields are pretty nicked up. I know how hard it is to photograph these when they're like a mirror. Whether it would get UNC Details instead is hard to judge based on these images.
I would start separate threads on the other three coins.

I would agree on cleaned or polished.if you can get a nice price on the 45 and 48, it is not a bad way to complete a dollar set, assuming you don't mind the issues. I bought a big lot of silver coins a few years ago, which included many cleaned dollars. At the correct angle/lighting the 48 looked nice, but in hand it was not attractive. I assumed cleaned going in and paid accordingly. Here is a photo of the worst angle/light I could make.   End of the day I ended up buying a nicer one because I wasnt happy with the one pictured above. But the price was right, so I was ok with the cleaned version, as it will still fetch a decent amount of money when I end up selling it. If your looking to buy, I would suggest thinking hard on it, it is a pricy coin in that condition and be sure you are happy with it. Edited by purelywasted

I bought a full set from a retired dealer. When I bought it from him, I felt that the 1948 was AU and priced my offer based on that.
I am going to send them in for grading and if I don't like it, just crack it out.
Nobody has to agree, but Anacs has upgraded their grading capabilities with Canadian coins and they are the cheapest available.
So that's plan B.
Thanks for all of the help
