Looks like MS detail but I can't tell if the coin has been cleaned. So many Flying Eagle cents have been "improved" with results ranging from extremely subtle to totally nasty. A coin like this should be vetted by a grading service to get a professional confirmation of problem-free status.

For what it's worth, looks pretty nice to me!

Rick only charges $4 to attribute and grade the coin. If he doesn't see any evidence of cleaning, then I would have him send it in to a TPG. He includes the attribution with the coin when he sends it in. Much cheaper than paying variety fee and taking a $35-$50 gamble with a TPG. Just my Two Cents...

I find it hard to determine cleaning from pics of FEs. I see a nicely struck, low MS coin ~MS62

I would say AU 58 also. The obverse looks very nice, I cant get a good feel for the reverse from the pictures.

Can you adjust the white balance on your camera?

I tried adjusting the white balance and it seems like that didn't work either. Looks like this coin will be getting sent to Rick Snow in the near future. :)
