I recently picked up this coin from the Stacks Bowers Auction in Baltimore. Mark Feld gave it the thumbs-up and I decided to let him fire away. I was fortunate to pick it up for a bit under my maximum bid. It arrived here a couple of days ago. It's been a while since I've been so pleased with a new purchase.
These photos are my own and I'm not yet up to the task of acurately capturing the tremendous luster and sharp strike of the piece. Maybe sometime soon I'll pick up the macro lens and copy stand that I've been watching. The auction photos demonstrate what I think is tremendous strike - even the toenails are well-defined.

Thanks for posting,

Discover all unpredictable errors before they occur.
Nice pick for a type 1 IMO. I can't grade this level so I don't know if it's all there for the grade or not, but it sure is for the FH designation.
Now for the next challenge ... get the type 2 and 3 hammered like that too

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

There is a bit too much right leg action for my tastes, so although it may be your pics, not a PQ 66.
I agree that my photos make the right leg look a little rough. I know that almost any coin can look downright baggy if you magnify it enough. I've included a portion of SB's high-res photo of this area which shows the leg a little better. It does have a couple of small hits, but compared to my photo they are much less noticiable. The SB photo matches what I see in hand through a loupe. Interestingly, the SB photo also fails to demonstrate the luster well.
But, you can see the toenails!!!!
Therefore I rate this coin as MS66FT.
