Vroom, Vroom,  I think I see some wear on the breast and wings of the eagle. AU-58...
Take Care

near full head, very nice.
Ben: Where do you see wear? I think that the eagle was struck flat.

Something's not right with the obverse rim. Most noticable from 10 to 12 o'clock. Perhaps it is just the photo.
The strike's a bit on the weak side, but most 27's are this way -- only about 10% of this issue are full heads.
This coin seems to be clearly mint state, and as such is clearly a valuable coin. When faced with purchasing a coin like this, I have to wonder why it's not already in a slab. This is a coin I would unlikely buy because of the risk of being stuck with the coin. If the seller had a 100% satisfaction rating and a clear return policy without penalty, I would consider it, but honestly these coins are available slabbed all the time and the downside risk is much, much less. In short, this is a pass coin to me...Mike

Ben | That's an area of flat strike. Very typical of the series, and this date also. THat's not to say there couldn't be some circulation wear there (although I can't see it in the photos), but rather to say that this is an area that the coin often comes with weakness....Mike

Nice SLQ zaneman. Ive just started a collection of these, all circulated of course. They have always been one of my favorite U.S. coins.

Maybe, but don't think so. It's almost looks like it was shaved

But the reverse doesn't show anything, so I ended up editing my comments. Tough to be sure given the overexposed photos, but certainly something to be concerned about....Mike
