I'll guess - PR66 the spotting came later after it was slabbed.

PCGS is drunk and labels the coin as PR69.  |

IMHO, it's either a Katrina Proof or a Harvey Proof. A lot of beautiful coins were submerged in the toxic soup in the floods, and developed surface leprosy.

I live in Houston and can attest to the large volume of coins and guns brought in due to the floods. This looks like one of many. A lot of tears were shed.

@panzaldi, I think the comment about it pulling a PR69 was meant to be a joke...

You could call it the unique "Turd Over Rays" variety and mark it up 3x for its extreme rarity. Marketing!
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."
