Very, very nice. I have not submitted mine, however, I believe, upon close examination, it is a 70 as well. A very special coin. Congratulations @Kkathyl ... Cheers, RickO
These are tough, especially with lint and such. The smallest blemish and they go down a grade. I will guess PR69DCAM just because that is what they did to mine. I still can't find reason for it not being a 70. But 69 it sits. I hope I am wrong and you got a 70.
I will echo the others as to trying to grade a proof image on line. At one time having all the ASE's from 89 ...until I decided to go another direction....im in the 69 camp. Again do to all the others have already stated.
Its funny as my date set of ASE's were in 68.....and the reason I chose 68's price yes but the small issues on the coins truly didn't matter to me .
Funny I had like 12~ 2008 rev 07
10 hit 70 and trying to get 70 money was lol a joke....they all sold not for 70 money but thats ok I still did very well.
Wishing you the same....

I am thinking these are hard to grade due to small pieces of lint or dust that may look like marks or are reflecting on the surface. I will guess a 70 and assume the marks I am seeing are dust or lint.
Your first slab photo shows a milk spot to the right of the T. If that was there when the coin was graded, 68 max. Beyond that, these are impossible to grade from photos unless the coins are absolutely awful. Any mostly decent proof can be photographed to look like a 70.

the spot you refer to in the true view (actually to the left of the T) is not showing on either of her slabbed photos. Spot is likely not on the coin.

No, I meant the one to the right
That appears to be a reflection of something to me. I say 69 or 70. Almost impossible for me to tell the difference in the two.

I think 69DCAM because of the variable rim width and something maybe by the B in Liberty. but also it does look like some type of doubling on the L, B, T obverse.
As long as I do not submit it for you...you have a shot at 70

so what is the grade?
I've always felt that they randomly grade 69 and 70. Very little difference in the actual coins most times. A huge money maker for PCGS and NGC.
I’m still waiting on my other subs to get back those GTG will be challenging because we sent in 2 CC Morgan’s and other vintage state half’s. Also sent in a white metal so called and a freaking ugly peace we have all seen and laughed about.

I’d say it’s either a 69 or 70. Really hard to tell them apart.
