Comments: This is a really great example of this coin. Even though is is pretty common (estimated 12 million survival in MS 65 or higher grade), getting really high end grades maybe more difficult with no uncirculated sets available. They eye appeal is just stunning with bright, original surfaces and virtually no visible blemishes. The strike could be stronger, which is the weakness of this example, but still pretty good. I am pretty pleased with this example as my official registry coin for the 1966 business strike quarter.
