    I've got this date with almost the exact same toning on the obverse and reverse.

    Purchased at a Long Beach Heritage auction last year and sold for no gain when it didn't cross
    (yeah, I knew it was a loooooongshot). Loved the color, but it ain't a 66!

    IMO, that coin is overgraded. The reverse strike is too weak and there are a couple minor nicks on the obverse. Im guessing the grade was bumped for the color. That was a pretty wore out die. MS64 at best.
