The 2005-P Bison/Western Waters Satin Finish Nickel-SP-70?

I am thinking that I have a decent chance of landing an SP-70 Grade on The 2005-P Bison and Western Waters Satin Finish Nickels in this case. They would have to be an order for me not to lose money sending them in I think? The Western Waters Nickel is $32 at SP69 and jumps to $7,000 at SP70! The Bison Reverse is $46 at SP69 and $6,000 at SP70! these figures are from PCGS Value View. My questions are what do PCGS and NGC charge to get a nickel slab these days and secondly just some personal opinions on my chances getting a perfect grade? I cannot find any scratches or deformities of any kind with my.30x Jeweler's Loupe. Photos were taken through the plastic case.

    Impossible to give a high grade with pictures, especially through plastic.
    The only sure way to know is to send it in.

    SP-70 grades are an unbelievable long shot from the top-tier services. You'll go broke trying to get one.

    Thanks! What price would I be looking at to send in these two nickels?

    I think modern coins are $30.00 each plus a $10.00 handling fee plus shipping so it would be around $80.00.
    If you are not a member it will cost another $69.00 for membership fees so the total would be about $150.00.
