    Honorable mention goes to Coinman1234:
    It probably is a 66 in reality, with a 1 pt bump in grade due to the color.... It looks waaaaaay better in hand than in my horrible photos.... And yes i paid $50 more than greysheet for this one... I guess im a sucker for toning

    Thanks, I would pay well in the triple digits for that one, you are not the only sucker for toning :), I can't tell you how many times I by coins just for the toning, even if i already have the same coin in my collection.

    I think that is one of the nicest toned mercs I have seen without a star grade. Sunrised it never got a star. Must look awesome in hand.
     
  7. MS64, but I hate the color. Nearly FSB.

    Based on the original photo, any of the grading guesses contained in this thread were viable. The original photograph makes the luster look potentially muted, which I think is why people were guessing below gem grades. I assume this is not the case since it is in a superb gem holder.
