It has the hallmark flattening of a weak strike in the places I expect to see it. In some cases - lower hair on the obverse, outside tips of the wings - this flattening is in places which don't necessarily wear quickly. The images are inconclusive, but I could see myself holding a coin like this in-hand and calling it Uncirculated.
Not that I'd have paid $72 for it, because the equal/greater possibility exists that it's a weak-strike AU55.
