Looks like a dipped out slider with a gnarly gash in the wing. No bueno to my eyes.
Definitely isn’t uncirculated as claimed.
I think it's only an AU at best with very possible 'details' grade.

Not Unc. ... raw ... off color photos ... pass!
I would not want to make a call on that coin from those photos, the lighting is terrible and makes it impossible to see any color changes on the coin that would confirm a weakly struck unc vs a slider AU. Looking at the sale price I'm sure the seller is happy.

Unbelievable sell price.... No way would I pay that price for that coin. Mid AU at best, and that is giving it credit for the lousy lighting/picture....Cheers, RickO
I always ask myself why the coin is not in a holder already.

Cameonut is right on the money. Wait for a graded coin.
Cleaned and not uncirculated.
No freaking way!
I cannot believe the money this realized.
I'm going to a bit contrary. Yes, the coin is AU probably a 55 if not cleaned. That's a heck of a strong date for a 21! I would not hesitate to pay the $870 it went for if I felt it was problem free! As others have said, there's no way to tell from those pictures.
Cleaned IMO and tooled under the eagle along with some minor scratches.
Not that I could afford a semi key date like that, but it would require a Top III TPG.

Seller has a number of key date coins in "uncirculated" condition. One better date raw, pretty unusual. Several better date coins raw.....One is betting that the seller is unsophisticated and has stumbled into some nice ungraded coins. Bad photos. A foolish bet IMO at almost any price.
Thanks everybody!

Same answers as many. For me, no chance in he__, not even with your money.
Cleaned, dipped, tooled and at best a AU details coin.
My opinion of course.

Pics are not great. Lightly polished?

Looks more than wiped, maybe even buffed.
