MS62. Nicely toned.

I'm going to say NGC has it at AU 58, the Eagles breast feathers are incomplete.

I'll say AU-58 .It's nice but looks like some minor wear on breast feathers and head on obverse .

I agree. Slightest touches of circulation rub on high points, primarily at center, both obverse and reverse.
Original skin AU-58.

Might be unc; might have slight rub and luster loss that would take it to AU-58. Either way it's a pretty coin. Always a treat to view high-grade early Walkers!

I agree with au58 grade///just short of unc for me...ie breast feathers and high points.

Agree 58. Really nice example.

Bit of rub on the high points but otherwise fantastic so I'm in the AU-58 camp on this one. Could certainly make 62 depending on the opinion of the grader.

I'd say they gave it AU/UNC details, artificial toning, which is why you don't agree with the label. The toning in all but the first picture does not look right to me.
Technical AU, but I have seen many coins in NGC details slabs that have details a full grade level below what was on the label.

It's in an NGC AU-58 holder. I wholly disagree on the AU part, though. The luster is continuous over the areas where the details are weak, and the fields are absolutely immaculate. To my not entirely naive eyes, I believe it to have a slightly weak strike - uncharacteristic though that may be for a 33-S.

I see very obvious wear on the breast, so I agree with NGC's AU-58. Choice coin for the grade, though!
