How would you grade this one? Picked it up for $46 which is probably more than it's worth but I really like the eye appeal so went for it. The seller offered it as "U-GRADE". I put it as AU something....dings on cheek, neck and lower left field but I don't see much wear on the high points, hairline is well defined as is the ear. On the reverse I do see wear on the breast feathers. Thanks..

Nice coin AU-55; possibly AU-58 due to the gorgeous luster

I see a bit of wear on the breast feathers and also at two points on the hair - above and to the right of the ear and above and to the right of the date.

Lots of chatter on the obverse and what appears to be some sodder on the dentals above the head. I don't see any signs of wear, so I'm going to say MS-62.

looks uncirculated to me, according to how it looks in hand it could be from MS-60-62 in my opinion but if you see any breaks in luster in hand it could be AU-58 but by the pictures I see nothing that would make me think it has been circulated

Nice coin! This date is known for heavy bagmarks and wide variety of strikes. MS62-63...

The pictures don't show any wear. I am comfortable with a grade of MS 62. Too much chatter to give it a higher grade.
