When I purchased it for my 7070 from Mark Feld, it was in a 55 holder. It seems that the few 7070 coins that I have replaced and sent back for grading have experienced some wear while sitting in the album.
Still...I think TrueViews can be hit or miss. Sometimes they look very cartoonish.

Gonna go out on a limb and say the grade is the result of netting some mishandling rather than wear - cuz I sure don't see the wear. IMO, there's a lot of inconsistencies inherent to net grading for light cleanings, etc.
The Bechtlers
Rutherford County, NC, 1831-1852
A skilled German metallurgist, Christopher Bechtler, assisted by his son August and his nephew, also named Christopher, operated a private mint in Rutherford County, NC. Rutherford County and other areas in the Piedmont region of North Carolina and Georgia were the principle sources of the nation's gold supply from 1790 until the California gold strikes in 1848.
The coins minted by the Bechtlers were of only three denominations, but they covered a wide variety of weights and sizes. Rotated dies are common throughout the series. In 1831, the Bechtlers produced the first gold dollar in the United States. (The US Mint struck its first circulating gold dollar in 1849). Bechtler coins were well accepted by the public and circulated widely in the Southeast.
The inscription AUGUST 1. 1834 on several varieties of five-dollar pieces has a special significance. The secretary of the Treasury recommended to the Mint director that gold coins of the reduced weight bear the authorization date. This was not done on federal gold coinage, but the elder Christopher Bechtler evidently acted on the recommendation to avoid potential difficulty with Treasury authorities.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
