I'll go with AU. I think I can see circulation rub, on the eagle's feathers and breasts.

I see what appears to be a hair on the obverse, and a couple dark 'things' on the reverse. Are those 'things' just loose dust, or blemishes on the coin?

Cheek is reasonably clean and free of large marks. Luster is a bit lacking but I think this will still make it to MS-64.

Sounds good to me. I'd not be surprised at MS65 if not for the strange toning/staining issues.

the reverse is very weak for this year. so strike is going to be a slight deduction on it. not a fan of the eye appeal on this one I think a slight deduction for that also in my book

MS63+
