Looking at this one. What do you think? These are sellers pics, the best I can do for now. Looks like a pretty nice example. Please let me know any concerns you see and approximate grade (if possible with poor image)- other than the especially poor reverse photo.

Looks like there is a little Verdis between the E and R. But other than that it's a very nice looking coin, if the pictures were better I might go MS62, but based on the pictures AU55-58. I can't see the reverse with enough detail to get any better idea.

Reverse not in sharp enough focus to be useful for grading. Obverse: AU-55

Agree, sharper reverse pic needed

The coin looks MS but a clearer reverse photo would be a big help.

I've had two Flying Eagles with just the slightest hint of rub on the breast feathers graded AU-58 by NCG. It's hard to tell from the photo, but this coin looks better than those two I had so I'd say this one may have received a MS designation.
I agree with others that the reverse is not sharp enough to tell if it has any wear.

cant really grade using the reverse but the obverse is reading MS. I don't see any indication of circulation. MS63

I won this one in an auction. I'll post better pics when I get it in hand. Thanks for all the comments.

Nice really nice. Blurry seller pics drive me banana's when I'm on the scent of a Cent.I see MS all day long on obverse but reverse shows a minor distraction on E of Cent and a smooth bow from die strike, not circulation wear. I think coins and elusive MS61 grade. Its a handsome flying eagle imo looking forward to seeing your in hand pics.

Ever think that the reverse pic might have been deliberately blurry?

Good point Frog. Looks like there might be some ED on the reverse along the rim, below left of the bow. Once you mentioned possible intentional photo blur, I started looking much closer.

I hope not. The auctioneer was technologically challenged.

I hope it comes in better than you expect but the verdigris on the obverse makes me wonder.
