I am going to take a stab, but WLHs are not my specialty.

The rims are full on both sides, the date is full, but very little eagle feather detail on the reverse. So this, to me puts it in the G-VG range. With PCGS, they probably went conservative G6, but I'll say VG8.

Not my thing either. I only bought it because it is a key. Very interested in key dates ;-)

I'm going to grade it myself at barely G-4, but from what I've seen I bet they gave it a g-6

I will say G-6 but PCGS may have given this a VG-8.

I gotta go VG-8; most of Sun's rays are gone, but date and IGWT pretty clear, so maybe G-4 obverse. Reverse a bit better, feathers in good shape, so might be VG-8. I'd say VG-8 overall. I thhink's WL's prior to this year were not as well-struck

Thats why I love threads like these, test your skills, see the results.

And yea, there is a G6. The in-between-er's (G-6, VG-10, XF45, etc) are for distinguishing that an example doesn't meet the criteria for a higher grade (usually not enough of a lettered portion or significant detail is intact), but is noticeably nicer than most examples in the lesser grade.

A good example of this is an XF-45. Generally these have noticeable luster and kick to them, but sadly have enough wear that it isn't considered AU. Usually these are loosely referred to by dealers (and ebay) as Choice XF or XF+.
