Guess the grade contest!

I've been practicing my grading skills on a e-flash card set of over 300 highly-accurate trueviews, doing 20 at a time like PCGS' grading contest. I'm interested to see how y'all fare on these 10 coins. All these coins are straight-graded business strikes. Full credit for correct grades, half credit for one point off. Winner gets bragging rights. Let the games begin!
UPDATE: Top three scores get little digital trophies they can put in their signature, in addition to bragging rights.

I could make a birth year registry set out of pocket change.

    An interesting group of coins that really present a challenge. Some tougher than others... Good photos. My biggest concern or doubt was my opinion on the SLQ and my hope that the 1851 20 graded in the AU spectrum. Thanks for setting this up. Fun.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    I'm going to leave this open for one more day.
    It looks like we're going to need a tiebreaker too!

    Just curious, how are you going to account for incorrect designations? (i.e. PL/DMPL)

    It gets really tricky when you try. They're just for style points here.

    Sorry, I need $20 per coin to render a grade online. You may PM me for my PayPal Address.

    So far we have 22 total competitors. You have 1 day left to submit grades.
