<p>[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 1762187, member: 7957"]My camera did not catch the full color on this coin. The darker half is redder (not coin red, but blood red) than my picture and the other half is whiter than in the picture. I am not sure of the cause. There is a hint of album toning (halo), but it is mostly top/bottom. Nice strike and luster is not a problem. Anyhow, there is some light chatter on the bust, but it is mostly tiny nicks. Nicks, more so than chatter, do affect the grade - if you can see them. These are so small I have trouble finding these even with a loupe. The only visible negatives I can see without the loupe (as graders do) are nicks below the MER in AMERICA and maybe above TY in LIBERTY. I would sure be tempted to call this a 67 or at least a 66+. Maybe it was the toning, but PCGS only gave it a 66.</p><p> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]279066[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
