[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 25567230, member: 19165"]The thing is... that toning is remarkable. What the Ebay listing shows is a coin with a fantastic reverse in a slab with no respect. The reverse appears to be a 66 all day (based solely on my interpretation of the pictures). The obverse seems to show a large mark on the jaw, and a few speckled marks in the left field. You don't know how many other marks are hidden with those blurry pics. However... what this coin does show is an absolutely stunning electric blue. This is one of the most coveted and rare color patterns. Based on my interpretation of the picture, I suspect the bidders expect that blue pattern to continue around the full circumference. If that's the case... the sky is the limit on this coin. Even more importantly, the toning on this coin appears to be natural. I see pullaway underneath the date, and I see elevation chromatics around the left stars. Both of these are incredibly hard to duplicate. Everything I see in this image looks like natural toning. If this coin gets cracked and graded by PCGS at 65.... this is easily a $1500 coin. Problem is, it is a gamble. If I were a betting man and had enough money to prospect, I'd hit that trigger.[/QUOTE]
