  The massive loss/rearrangement of metal makes me want to say MS60, but the excellent lustre might stretch it to MS61.

  When in doubt, don't.

  I want to say AU-58. Looks like too much friction in hair and eagle breast for MS-60.

  Thanks for the opinions so far. A couple of comments regarding the wear on the hair/breast and luster.
  I'm not the best photographer in the world and doing this rather barbaric using a simple black background and a Kodak Z740 set on close ups.
  
  The luster is quite nice in hand.
  If you look at the hair above the ears and on the breast it appears there are polish line as both areas show horizontal lines across each area. I summed this up to the weak strike of the NO mint as well as album slide marks. The lines are consistent and evenly distributed on both sides.
