[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 101516, member: 2972"]I guess the other Walker thread scared everyone away from this one. This coin was graded MS 66 by PCGS. You guys are being fooled by the large photos, I think. This coin has booming luster and color and you can't see a single mark on the coin without magnification. There is some weakness centrally in the reverse devices, very typical of this coin. The "mottling" in the fields above Monticello is the way the coin has toned. This coin is acually multi-colored on both sides (most likely from a roll), but the photos do not show it very well. You can barely see it in the photographs from 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock on the reverse through the letters UNITED STATES. It just goes to show that grading high grade coins from photographs is challenging at best...Mike[/QUOTE]
