Nothing significantly wrong with the strike although there is a bit of weakness around the O. There are a few minor ticks and the luster could be better, but shouldn't a negative. Those blue specks you see in the glare are pretty much all over the coin. that makes the color look a bit off. I believe that the color is the biggest reason PCGS only gave it a 66. It might be a 66, but I think it is at least a nice 66.
Leadfoot did not last long on top. Irish2Ice is back in front even if it was because of omission rather than commission. MNcoinman has moved into third, but he will be dropped next week if he does not guess both rounds. Columns are rank, name, average, and number of guesses.

I wouldn't of thought the spotting is visible without a loupe . Heck this has to be one of the nicest 66 s out there .
Actually, the spots were not visible per se, but there are so many that it makes the color look a bit off.
