You vs. PCGS Don't cheat and try to find it. I found this for sale online and the seller lives about 10 minutes from me. I could get a discount from buying in person, but grr I hate sales tax on coins :( What do you guys think it graded. In your opinion, do you think it has good eye appeal/ toning? I kind of like it.   |

I see slight rub on chest and reverse. Feather tips too.
I like it!

I prefer the even tone of the reverse. The obverse toning is not appealing to me. I would guess MS-65  EDIT - after looking with vermontensium's guidance, I am going for a lower MS-60 Edited by Fuzzy317

I would prefer an 1857, and one that looks more even like the reverse. But this one is a decent price (i think) and it doesn't look to bad when I look at it more and more.

Very nice! Appears to have lots of luster with maybe just the slightest bit of rub on the chest. My guess is AU-58 but would not be too surprised if it got graded MS.

Its ok, I find the series hard to grade sonetimes. A lot of flying eagles got poorly struck. You can find ms examples that have no visible tail feathers. I wanted to find one with good details all throughout.

I don't believe this can be an MS coin, too much wear on breast and high points on the wreath. AU-55

Okay guys. It was graded au55 by pcgs. I agree with the grade. Definitely some wear on the coin, most noticeable on the chest feathers. I appreciate all three guesses and the input!
