    Cant really tell from your pictures, I see what appears to be a lot of luster, but what looks like surface rub in the field in front of Liberty and possibly on cheek. So I'll say AU.

    I’d love to be able to tilt and rotate your pictures under a good light.😉 But in the absence of that, if I had to guess, I’d go with mint state.

    I think mint state. The only issue I see is this but I think it's just a break in the toning, not rub

    MS guess here also, looks like a few old hairlines in the field and cheek.

    I wouldn't have guessed “cleaned” for yours but I think I would have gone with AU.

    Slider AU-58. The high points of the cheek seem to lack frosty mint luster.

    Solid unc. by today's standards.

    Is this your coin or sellers pics? I am leaning AU.

    I'd go AU-55. I believe I see some wear in the wingtips. Not the greatest pics though.

    I'd lean towards AU.
