I'm working on a PCGS PR64 set and found this 66. Probably one of the prettiest I've seen. Although I'm not sure about the seller....image

    An eBay listing with good diction, grammar, and "effervescent" spelled correctly!

    Bravo . . .and worth a premium!

    I don't often see Liberty nickels with great mirrored surfaces and that type of eye-appeal. That looks like a great coin if you win it.

    Looks like reflections in the pics... not really the color on the coin?

    Bingo. I think there's no way the coin actually looks like the pic, the color wouldn't be right, looks like reflections. Surprised the OP didn't think AT.
    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

    Great looking nickel!

    Russ has very accurate photos so you wouldn't need to worry about that....I bought a coin from him a while back (he'd probably be chagrined to know this imageimage), and it was just as sweet in-hand as it was in his pics.

    Russ also seems to be wearing a Navy Blue sweater or sweatshirt?

    The colors are all there. The coin is a bit lighter in hand, and also prettier than the images. Toned proofs with strong mirrors are a bear to image when encased in reflective plastic. Bottom line is that this coin is bona fide drool material.

    Higher grade PF Liberty Nickels are much more common than mint state counterparts, and as a result, PFs for most dates are much cheaper.

    From something like 1901 through 1908, the mint did something to change the look of PF Nickels. They typically don't have the mirrors (Cameos for some dates are quite scarce); rather, most of them have brilliant proof surfaces. I have an 05 in PF 6 that looks like this. The brilliant surfaces, coupled with the toning on this coin, I imagine would make it difficult to accurately image it. Unlike mint state coins in 6 of this series, they haven't gone anywhere pricewise in at least a decade. Might add that the 06 in a business strike 6 is a tough (and expensive) date.
