    Hey there folks,
    I recently won this flying Eagle and was curious as to input on grade or Snow variety. I’d put the grade somewhere in the low MS range but don’t know how damning the rim ding at 2:00 is or the mark on the lower right field.
    Thanks in advance!

    I don't see a Snow # for the coin. It's nice but it won't straight grade. I would call it AU. Nice album coin.

    I agree except I think it has a chance to straight grade.

    More like an AU than anything else.

    Nice coin but I don't know. Looks like small scratch from the eagles right wing and pointing to the "E" in America in the top pic. Hopefully it's not an issue.
