  That 35-d is really nice. That is a good strike for the date/mint so I'll say 65.
  
  The other 2 I know already so I'll keep quiet!

  MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

  58, 63, 65 I like the looks of all three, and that 17S is a tough coin in any higher grade, and this one has monster toning to boot!

  17-s: I figured most folks would guess higher than the assigned grade of pcgs AU 50. I agree there is little in image to suggest this is just a step better than XF. Maybe weakness in horn was attributed to wear, but that isn't supported by wear elsewhere. i've never seen color, luster or eye appeal like this on a 50, but prices across AU grades are too tight for a regrade to make sense. But maybe just to prove a point...
  
  20-p: this is the one I wasn't sure how folks would guess. Granted my image didn't fully capture how nice obverse is. In hand the grade of 64 makes a lot more sense.
  
  35-d: surprised that only ricko correctly guessed 66. IMHO this was super nice, must have now material, for which I bought into a grade I would have never planned buying into (big jump from 65). I do think strike is a tad weak for 66, but with luster like that I'm not sure you cAn reach any other conclusion than 66.

  For whatever it is worth, before I saw your post/reveal, my thoughts were 55 shot 58, 64, and 66.

  I was at least in the ballpark on them
  
  And frankly, I'm standing by my grade of 58 for that 17S.....the obverse has essentially no wear that I can see, and light wear and strike weakness on the reverse. I'd pay 50 Bid for that coin all day long LOL!
