Gold Buffalo grade question

Posts: 989 ✭✭✭✭✭
I have the chance to get a 2008 1/10 oz $5 Proof Buffalo graded PR66 DCAM for a good price. I've always wanted one and this looks like a good chance.
My question is. Most I've seen have been graded PR69 and PR70. Just how much worse looking will the 66 grade be? It's a small coin so I can't see anything major jumping out at you.
The price is well below what the 69 and 70's are bring. I don't care so much about that. I just want one to add to my collection.
Should I jump on it or wait till I can afford a higher grade one?
I'll be seeing the coin some time next week.
I wasn't sure if this topic should be in the coin forum or the PM forum. Sorry if it does not belong here.

Wait !!!!
66 is pretty low grade for a gold buffalo.

It is for personal satisfaction. That's why I'm leaning towards it.

The price is the best I've seen in some time and I wonder just how bad a 66 will look on such a small coin. A 66 on most coins is knock-out, but on proof gold I don't know.
