Too hard to grade proofs from pictures but yours has the typical 'starburst' fields that most have. Sure looks like a nice proof to me. Here is mine in an enhanced image.

That is a really nice proof Merc.....I would guess 66, but could be even better. Cheers, RickO

Judging from the blueness of the white prongs the coin does not have a blue tone to it. Plus grading proofs from pics is impossible due to the fact that grade is determined by hairlines and not wear. But my "guess" would be 66 maybe 67. And it needs to be freed from those white prongs.

You are right, I didn't set white balance on it hence the blue-ness.

Tomaska image?

This coin has light contrast but NGC says no to Star. Yes a Tomaska image and it can look that good in the right light.

It's been freed and lives in a 67+ holder now, really surprised that ATS didn't originally give a + or star, the coin is really wonderful.
I also have a much better picture now. Thanks @PCGSPhoto !

Thanks! My set started with a PR66 1942 as well. I was hooked after that one.
