Pretty decent luster, but is that wear on the talons, tailfeathers, and arrow fletches?

That right there is why I don't like pix presentations as these are shown.they don't reflect real surfaces well. I see very few chatter marks, those two visibly are deep enough to shadow, should be more or at least rougher in texture. Was coin dipped? Let's just say it was treated well, how about that? No matter the, in excellent condition nonetheless!

As far as condition goes this coin is real nice . I Don't think it was dipped . Possibly a light cleaning NOT a detail designation . Could be very little wear on left wing near shield and Eagles left claw . JMHO ,  |

64+ seems clean. Would like different angled pics in lighting though.

I recognize the photography as Great Southern Coins, a seller with a reputation of selling polished or dipped coins.
Most likely AU-58 Details, cleaned.

If it's Great Southern there's a VERY good chance photos are doctored.
If not, MS 65 and a steal for that price. Left wing tip is the first thing to show rub. I see no rub there.

Looks more like a sketch than photographs. Sorry, but I can't tell anything from those photographs re: surfaces/cleaning, except I don't see obvious hairlines. And as has been said ad nauseam, if GSC, run, run, run and don't lose sleep over 'missing' that one.
Common date and why not find one slabbed at the grade and with the look you want? Sure, not all the gems have been slabbed, HOWEVER, there's a reason why that one is not.

If it's GSC, I wouldn't trust the photos at all.

Probably dipped but still great eye appeal. Dipping doesn't mean it would get a details grade from a TPG. |

The photo definitely seems off, so I'm not 100% confident in assigning a grade. It appears to be MS-65, but I would need to see some more photos before pulling the trigger.
