I would guess this coin would be an AU.

I would probably be more forgiving and go MS-62 on it. While there is some weakness on the right leg, the right forearm and shoulder show no evidence of wear IMO. Beautiful coin. It's really tough to come up with a 50-something arrows in UNC. I've been trying... PG
