i wonder if i'm the only viewer who realizes what a PCGS encapsulated coin insert is supposed to look like!!!!!! it reminds me of how we adjusted the color levels on the TV when i was a child. when you had the skin tone correct, everything else would be OK. the same applies with auction pictures. if you get the insert color right, the coin will be seen as it is, or at least close.
i may be mising the mark and of course i'm assessing a picture, the coin linked looks like it should be a lock MS64 shot MS65, but holdered at MS66?? while some leeway will be granted the 1972 issues, consider the below pictured 1976 Type 2. it is as the picture shows with regard to color/marks/luster and was recently holdered at MS65.

The grade is very nice. I cannot grade from pictures, so I cannot judge the coin. However, if it is indeed a 66, then the coin should go for well beyond that price. I would estimate it going for more than $10,000.00.
Just my opinion of course.
Nevertheless, it is a very nice type II 72-P.
he does neglect to say that the reserve is somewhere in proximity to where the eagle is landing on the reverse of the coin.
I see what you mean by the label. In this image it's very white. Don't all encapsulated PCGS coins have a bluish tinted label? At least that what mine look like. He may just have the image over-exposed a wee bit. The pop on these stands at 3 so it will be interesting what this goes for in the end. As for me and grading, I just don't get it and most likely never will.
OT but where do people find these low pop coins to offer on eBay anyway?

I don't think he improved the look of that coin with his editing...probably just the opposite. I don't see anything that would kick it out of MS66 catagory, even if it may be low end MS66. I think that your comparison proves more that your 76 P is under-graded. It is a very nice looking coin. I would bet that if resubmitted, your 76 P would grade higher (maybe much higher). You need a larger sampling of coins for comparison. I could use a coin that would show that the 72 P is undergraded. Here is a picture of a recently graded 76 D in MS67 (none of the marks are on the holder):
Based on your photo, your 76-P type II is well under-graded. Your coin has a good shot to MS67 unless some ticks did not show on the photo.

No, just the original listing fee. On this coin, the seller had a reserve, so that fee was paid, too.
