I see no wear, but all the dings and scratches put this one at MS-61 for me.

Technically speaking, dings and bag marks do not reduce an uncirculated coin to a circulated grade.
Bad rim dings, large scratches, cleaning, graffiti, and other major problems might reduce a coin to UNC. Details.
This poor girl has been beat enough that it really doesn't matter if this is an AU 58 or a MS 61 as far as the value is concerned. $30 is a generous price for it.
I'm really not trying to knock your coin nor offend your purchase. That's just what I see.

Moxking, I acknowledge how badly this coin has been beatten, but I'm just curious how this would grade. Actually, $33 was the total price which includes this coin, a barber half, a Barber quarter, Barber dime and the two minor coins. Effectively, given every other coin is worth spot, I only paid $23 for this coin. |

I'm seeing a bit more rub on the center of the Eagles breast and at 5:00 behind ear on obverse than I'd like to see on an uncirculated example, so I'd be at AU-58.
NOT because of the bag marks but because of the slight indication of circulation.
By the way, all that for $33 is a steal!

I too think .. it could be either AU 58 ..or MS 61 .. both being worth about the same.
Buying all those coins for $33 .. is a very good deal

Could be anywhere between 58 and 62. Looks dipped in some of the pics, but perhaps not.
