It's pretty tough to make an accurate call on coins graded this high just on photos

If the mark on the nose is as distracting in hand as it is in the photo you have a $20 coin.If not you'll understand the significance of jdmerm's reply.

The ICCS ms66 is most likely almost flawless in regards to contact marks on the coin's surface (toning doesn't matter).
While the PCGS ms66, is more than likely an 'ICCS ms65' due to some hit marks on the surface, but because PCGS rewards a coin for toning, they bumped the grade up to an ms65.
Your coin however seems to have plenty of small hit marks and ICCS in my opinion would grade it as ms63.(I don't think it's a PL).
No disrespects intended, but to the experienced eye, the difference in grade between your coin and both the PCGS and the ICCS coins is very apparent.

They aren't great looking coins but their technical grade would be correct.

I don't think that's damage, but rather I believe it's the black cardboard edge overlapping the coin making it appear to be rim damage. |

that is correct, it is the cardboard, the photo wasnt exactly straight on.. there isn't a chunck missing. the scratch on the queen's nose is not as noticable in hand unless at similar angle as photo, seems I ended up catching it just right ! anyway, the second ebay coin I posted looks to me like it caught a quick spray from a sandblaster ! looks all pitted. i just can't imagine them selling for the asking price. |
