Here are the two MS66+ coins.

I definitely prefer the William Strickland, 6th Baron Boynton example.

I've seen both of them, and I prefer the Frederick Charles Cogswell Boyd specimen.

After the Lelan Rogers auction, Jay Parrino submitted it to PCGS for grading, and there was a debate as to the grade at PCGS, as to whether is should be graded 66 or 67!
While I will never own one, I must say, it would be awesome to hold one in my hand, and study it for a while. Cheers, RickO
