I think It's MS, but low MS, the cheek looks free of wear, and the hair still has luster.
I'm in at MS-62, possibly 63, but the weak strike would probably hold it back.

Some of the coin is out of focus; most notable on the reverse.

What I'm seeing is flatspotting evident all across the hairline, also a tiny bit to the tip of the cap and the eagle's breast. The wear to the hair is enough to bring it down to AU55, I'd say.

I had to stare a while to decide on this one.
It's seen circulation. There's too much meat left around the ear for the "wear" visible in the cotton bolls and upper hair to be a strike artifact. On the reverse, the same goes for the legs and talons. Bigtime slider, and one of a very few times you'll ever see me use the term "AU58."
Might change my mind in-hand, and if I did it's MS64 all day. Maybe even 65. Look closely at what you don't see on the cheek, or anywhere else for that matter.

I think it grades MS-64. Cheek looks mostly free of marks. The obverse fields and eagle have some but not in as grade sensitive an area as the cheek. The spotting may limit it from grading higher.

You know you got a slider when you hear everything from 55 to 64 from this bunch.  |
