WTB - a Ft. Hood ATB 5 ounce but for a cause.

I tried a similar thread several days ago.
Here is my situation. I'm only buying one set. I know lots of folks want one set and I refuse to play the games to buy multiple sets against the spirit and letter of the Mint's directives.
I bought my set from MTB. I got very lucky and got outstanding pucks for 4 of the 5. I really think these are all 69's and 70's.
My Mt. Hood though has an obvious, albeit, small tube mark above the top of the mountain. At first, I thought it was a cloud but under 10x, I saw the 1/8 to 1/4 mark. It's a solid 66 or 67 but considering I was blessed with the other four, I've got a shot at a REAL great set.
I need a clean to the eye (and to a 5x loupe would be a prayer answered) Mt. Hood. Then, I'll submit my set to PCGS for FS.
I won't though pay almost 2/3 the cost of a set for one coin. To me that is, especially from flippers with multiples: unethical, rude, against both the spirit and letter of the Mint's intent, etc.
OTOH, if I am able to get a reasonably priced example and my set comes back graded as high as it is, I intend to sell it and give between 1/2 to 2/3 of the proceeds to the Susan B. Komen Foundation and the Race for the Cure. If there is enough left over for me to then buy an MS 67/68 for myself, I will attempt to do so. If not, then as much as I want a set, I'll happily go without because "my great set" will have gone to a good cause.
So, if you have a decent Ft. Hood that you'd be willing to either sell at a reasonable price for: all cash, cash and bullion, or.....cash, bullion and trade for my Hood, please PM me.
I just won't take sets (by playing games with multiple AP's, using friends and relatives, etc.) to, potentially, find that fifth solid coin that I think with all my heart may be the best puck set delivered to anyone. I know collectors who are still shut out today because of flippers who bought as many sets as they have "friends and family." I couldn't look myself in the face if I did that knowing my actions kept even one person who wanted a set from getting one at a reasonable price.
So....if you have a decent one, want a reasonable and fair profit as well as know that, if my grading skills are right......you're generous benevolence will result in a large donation to the number one killer of our: mothers, wives, daughters and girlfriends....please PM me and we'll see if we can work something out.
Thanks for your: reading, considering and taking the time to give your thoughts to what I've written.
