    Brian, I like all 3 and do believe they get full bands...but as to the grade the P looks to have been dipped .The D & S are mid Au. grades to my eye. They have plenty of meat on the bone. And nice strikes....it's just a hard call to advise putting the money to have them graded.
    As far as NGC or PCGS no way spend the money if Anacs had a special yes I would. But coin one I'm afraid won't grade other than details , imho

    I'm assuming that there is more luster than is showing in your images, but I'll go P AU-53, D AU-58, S AU-58. They may be higher, just hard to say from an image.

    All three are mid/high AU, judging by the lack of luster in the photos. I'd say 55, 58, 58 P/D/S looks about right. All three have nice bands (especially D), but P and S are a bit lacking in eye appeal though. I'd say D is the nicest coin of the bunch.

    I'd say all are close to AU-58 and should grade clean with FSB . I really like the S .

    I like to see the S in hand as if you enlarge the image notice the corner of her mouth , next right of her nose on her cheek and in the corner of her eye. Looks like part of Her hair .
    Brian are these lines raised or toning?

    There's a spike one on the bridge of her nose as well under her eye.
