    Sorry, but there is no way, from that picture, that coin grades at 66. There is obvious light wear as I see it. That HAS to be a mistake, or one of the most grossly overgraded coins I have ever seen.

    LOL ! Yeah, if ya wanted to be banned from that forum :D

    I suppose there's a lot of people would look at that coin and the comments being about it here and then say something along the lines of - these guys can't be right, the TPGs would never over-grade a coin THAT badly !

    Well, guess what folks, they not only can, they do ! And far more often than most would consider possible. Never forget - buy the coin, not the slab !

    That is a truism, a mantra, that has been around for as long as slabs have been around. And its veracity has done nothing but increase over the last decade plus years.
