    I was wanting to say XF-45 before I saw the other answers, but they are way smarter than me.

    I like it. Looks like a pcgs holder. Depending on the generation I’d say 55. But if it’s an old holder or really recent I’d say 53

    It could go 55, but the rev scratches net at 50

    That has to be a variety with the date...... Right??? I won't guess because everybody else has already covered the grade range, and I read the comments before replying.

    I'd say 53-55, but I'm bad at grading these. More interested in the Overton on a BH than really learning to grade them I guess.

    O-101, nothing special.

    C-B-D nailed it really quick. Many others guessed the PCGS grade as well.
    Round two in a few.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I like this one better at 55, but this is exactly the type of coin that winds up in 58 holders all the time.

    +1 I like a little less breaks in the field luster for 58. I’d never call this coin a slider. Truly au

    When I saw the large pics, I initially thought a much lower grade because I did not see the luster. Seeing the small pics makes is much easier to see the luster. Very pretty coin that must look really nice with that glossy dark toning. She reminds me of a bust half I used to own:

    I miss that coin...
