Wow - what a collection you have! Every piece seems to be a beauty.
I'm thinking this one is a slider.. I dont see much wear in the usual places, although the breast makes me hesitate.. but I'm going MS-63.

This is a curious coin to grade. The coin is unblemished with obvious nicks and scratches for a high MS grade, but there is a tiny amount of wear on the high spots.
AU58.
I am looking for a coin like this myself. One day, I MAY find it in Oz. I live in hope!

AU-58 to MS-62: Unc or close with a sharp strike but a minor old wipe keeping the grade down if it indeed is uncirculated. This wipe may account for apparent 'rub'.

I don't see any wear myself so a lower MS grade would be appropriate I think.

AU58 or MS 62 (I'm with you shadow). Without the ability to determine luster breaks on the high points that's about as best as I can do.

The apparent rub on breast, thigh, and in the right obverse field take it out of MS contention IMO. The images don't show luster but unless it's been dipped away it should be present. I'd say AU-55, possibly AU-58, but PCGS might have put it in a Genuine slab if the luster has been degraded due to over-dipping.

I am not sure if it is actual wear or not, hard to tell from the picture. I am going out on a limb here and saying PCGS MS-63, based entirely on the top set of pictures.

Love the look of that half. I am leaning towards an AU-55 or 58 but could be MS.
