Comments
No examples known with visible feathers in Eagle's chest, which moves the MS60 rating lower, allowing those coins to be rated as it since the alloy was softer and the feathers disappeared quite fast.
These coins with this seal are known in Mexico as:
"Águila de perfil" : "Profile eagle"
But in the World collector's community they are also predominately known as "Hook-neck snake" due to the coil the snake has near the eagle's beak.
Both are valid as they are nicknames rather than official names which would only be the face value of the coin itself.
