Wear on the hair above the ear and on the eagle's breast. AU. You could argue weak strike on a New Orleans coin, but not one from San Francisco. Something's also going on on Miss Liberty's face. All of those small horizontal lines on the coin would prevent me from buying it, because I'd be afraid of a no grade due to a possible cleaning.
There are breaks in the frost on the cheek and the Eagle’s breast feathers.

The lower face and neck areas, in particular, make me think AU58.

High end AU, the hairlines/friction on the face and neck would make it difficult to call BU.

I agree with the high AU. Wear on the cheek
That area from about 5:00 to 9:00 on the lower half of the obverse is telling me it is an AU.

Agreed - 60 to me too.

The coin blasted off on ebay last night, over $400, glad I didn't win it.

Very good date.
The seller was right.
AU58, but decent looking in my opinion...

Or use the type of language that was a total turn off to me years ago when I browsed the noisey screaming all cap headlines on ebay:
SACRIFICE!!! GEM BU, PQ+++ MONSTER NEAR DMPL!!!
When the coins were AUs with some problems, they would be SUPER SLIDER!!! CH UNC!
