Looks like it from the pics. I'm suprised that it holdered, that is a recent holder as well.
That is what I was wondering myself. Maybe it is not PVC but toning as NGC saw it in hand?
Yes.

It looks to sit on top of the surfaces rather than being part of the surfaces. I don't think it is toning. It looks like PVC to me. Even without the residue, I wouldn't be excited with it as MS66.
Looks like PVC. Try contacting NGC to buy it back. Looks ugly AF
The green around the edge is PVC damage?
That looks like PVC. I see it is present on the NGC lookup in their photos too. A little dot of it on the reverse at 6:30 as well.
Does NGC do buybacks on PVC still? I know pcgs did at one time but stopped years ago.

Perhaps restoration can be done.
That will come off with ease
NGC should be able to "conserve" it with some acetone.
Textbook example
But not without cracking it out of an MS66 holder.
Cert lookup shows it was graded that way. I'd say PVC for sure,,,,'eh 98.341% positive it is.

That's incredible if true.
this is a closeup from cert lookup
has it on the reverse, too.

probably, the only thing being that the coin needs to come out of the holder first. that requires some belief that NGC would conserve it and grade it the same --- or --- that PCGS would grade it the same after you do the work or have PCGS do the work. looking at the coin via the NGC cert lookup page I would have no confidence in the coin being graded MS66 again.
even if it is, why go through all that trouble and incur additional cost just to have this coin. just "pass" on this one and look for another sans PVC which is a stronger grade example.
I strongly suggest that you contact NGC and see what they say
Nothing here posted can replace what NGC says.
Call them!
It looks like it could be PVC residue. The degree of damage, if any, underneath the residue isn't clear. Sometimes PVC can be removed by acetone before it etches into the surface in which case it can straight grade.
That does appear to be PVC.... Call NGC and see what they offer....Restoration and reholder would be ideal. But get it taken care of soon, before it gets worse. Cheers, RickO
Not my coin. I notified the seller and its up to them as to what to do with it. I suspect it has a trip to NGC pending.
Yes
