Question about Proof Ike

Modern Proof Submitters,
This may seem like a stupid and obvious question, but I'll give it a go. I haven't submitted any modern proofs, so I don't have too much to go by.
I cracked out a 1976S Clad Proof set, because it had a particularly nice Ike. It's 100% DCAM, with some nice golden toning and it looked clean through the holder. After I got the coins out safely, I inspected the Ike to find that it has 4-5 small, but visible to the naked eye, hairlines in the reverse fields. Knowing that only a PR69DC for a 1976S Clad T2 Ike is worth money (well 70, but yeah right), is this coin immeadiately precluded from this grade because of these marks? I imagine that there probably isn't anyway in the world that this coin would make 69, but I just thought that I'd toss this out to more knowledgable folks.
Thanks!
