Splotchy toning just does not do it for my eye. To each their own.  Personally, I prefer my blast white MS65 example:  Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

I like the toning; it gives it its own character.But would love to see this coin outside of a PCGS "True View" image

I like it. The strike is pretty good but not great. I'd love to own it but would never spend ms66 kinda money on it. The strike on nickelsearchers ms65 looks better than the 66..

I could pretty much put a 100% chance that if I submitted this coin for grading, it would have come back questionable/altered color.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I like rainbow toned coins, but this one seems more "scattered" than I would be interested in.

Personally, I prefer my blast white MS65 example I quite agree. And I prefer my slightly champagne-toned MS66 example (which was about $1600 cheaper than the toned one discussed in this thread):   |

This coin sold last November at StacksBowers and the listing had pictures that weren't jacked up by trueview... Interesting.  |

Not my favorite. Looks more like someone spilled something on it than toning. Also not the sharpest strike.
