You me and most of us did! This is the kind of coin one needs to see in hand I'd say, probably a lot more luster than a static photo can show. Beauty SLQ!

Agree - it's almost impossible at the ms66 and higher range to grade by pictures.. Just missing too much of the puzzle. I was drawn to the strike and blue rim toning on it (all if the dark areas are blue in hand). Wish I knew how to photograph it better :)

The only area of concern I had was th left knee and it's dark spot. Any concerns there or does it look like toning? I couldn't definitively tell even under loupe -- although this is where CAC makes me a bit more comfortable with a big purchase.. I figure two entities hopefully wouldn't miss something like that.
