looks pretty clean, good luster and well struck, but the scratch from the you in UNITED to the eagle's wing really detracts. Contact marks above and to the right of the date. Three scratches below AM in AMERICA, and chatter near STA in STATES. Looks like an average TPG ms63, but really should be details scratched in my book.

I own an NGC MS-63 1857 Flying Eagle and compared it to yours.
I wonder if the chatter on and under the STA in STATES would lower it to MS-62.
A very nice coin with lots of luster and a good strike.

I think it's always best to wait 48 hours so everyone gets a chance to chime in.

Very nice. But it does have some damage on United States. MS 62?

I don't see this any lower than an MS-63. It's a really nice Eagle & I wouldn't mind owning one that nice.

I'll guess 64 based on luster.
