Choice Almost Uncirculated, certified PCGS AU-58, with Eagle Eye sticker of approval. Sharp for the date although the typical softness in the wreath on the Reverse, mark free overall with decent surfaces. The 'streak' on the Obverse is an area of different metallic composition due to improper alloy mix. This is fairly common to the era, as all the planchet stock used for these coins was recycled from melted 1864-1870 coinage. This oddity was due to a flow-back problem after the Civil War, when hoarded U. S. coinage was dumped back into the banking system. PCGS has an interesting article by Rick Snow about this if you wish to read it. This comes with the Eagle Eye photo certificate to match, as shown.
