Its a great strike thats for sure, all the stars are crossed. The eyebrow is great. The talons look great. There are a few light scratches in the left field of the obverse and what appears to be a mark over the wing. I am having a hard time not being able to see if there is actually wear on the talons. I could judge more accurately in hand. I would say close to mint state, but i will be on the conservative side and give it a AU58.

I see you have a complete set of them! You must post some pics of the set.
Nice addition.

Judging the tiniest bit of wear from images is tough to impossible...but my shot is there appears to be some wear on the talons, so I say AU55
