MS66PL in my eyes from these photos - though the PL may be questionable.

I could see this actually with a details grade if broken out and sent to PCGS! Fields look a little fuzzy, so I'm thinking fine hairline cleaning scratches.
Still going with 65pl in the NGC holder though

I think Mr. Contursi is a bit over the market on his price for this one, but who knows? It bears mentioning that, as of Aug. 9th of this year, this coin resided in an NGC PF66CAM slab in which it sold for $176,250. It's been upgraded since. NGC chose to create some significant wealth by "creating" a brand-new Top Pop coin (66 was the former Top Pop), and I find it a very curious move on their part.

It better look amazing in-hand. Certainly appears no better than a 66 from the images, but it's nearly impossible to grade proofs from images, so I will reserve judgement.

Yeah, that's what I'd expect there. How do you take such crap images for a coin you're trying to sell for that much money? Ridiculous.

It's just cheap advertising - there's no way he expects to make a sale on ebay. Like I always say, it's working - we're talking about it. |

Well I had the 66 grade (which is where the consensus in the market is on this coin) I almost went Proof as well, but the rims just didn't do it for me in the smaller photos you posted, if they had been the size you normally post, I might have been able to get the proof as well. Superb coin, I'd love to own it myself (alas only in my dreams).
