I am no good at these things, the 1920 in my 7070 album was graded MS-63 and everytime I look at it I would have thought it was a EF at best, but I guess they were just weakly struck. Here is pictures of mine, it was graded MS-63 by NGC   |

I'm going to guess XF-45 on the OP coin. Very nice coin. I would have guessed AU-58 on yours Bryan. The details look pretty full to me, except for the date and eagle's breast.

I'm not familiar with this series. Is the face supposed to be flattened? Is that wear or just a weak strike?

Yes, the heads on SLQs tend to be very flat which is why high AU/MS coins with full head details(FH) sell for a premium over an average strike.

I am going to say AU-55, because of the wear around the edge and center of the shield. Very nice coin.

The 1925 coin has definite wear on Miss Liberty's breast, shield, and left knee, as well as on the eagle's breast. Head detail is nearly but not quite full since the boundary line between hair and cheek is not clear. I'd call it AU-50. There may be a small rim bruise on the reverse below AR of DOLLAR. Otherwise, it looks like an attractive, problem-free coin. Offhand I'd guess it might be worth $40 or so. I would be pleased to have it in my collection!

I tend to agree with Jaobler on this one. I give it an AU-50, looks to be more wear than an AU-58 would warrant.

Way too much wear on the right leg to qualify for AU58. An AU58 SLQ will exhibit only the slightest hint of rub on the knee. I will also say AU50.

Well you're right on with the price. I think I wound up getting it for $43. I'm still fairly new and building me collection so it makes me happy to know that I have a coin that others like as well. Thanks for all the responses!

With the amount of wear that is present I'm going to agree with AU-50. This is one nice coin.
