I am going to say AU 55. The top of the wing looks like it is just a light strike, which is common with these coins, but if it is wear, it would probably grade a little lower than that.

Great coin and thanks for sharing. This date is well known for the "broken wing tip" and "missing wing tip" hubs. I would suggest checking the obverse lettering for doubling or tripling.

Cheers.

The coin looks at least a AU-55/58.

Based on the details I can see--easily a AU55 or better!

I'm in at AU55 I'm in agreement with bbddbb10 on the light strike. The TPG's will take strike in to consideration on grading and not go 58 on it.
