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.
I don't think either of the two coins you imaged are 70's no matter what the TPGS says. There are obvious hits all over the reverse of the Bison. Furthermore, I believe that the TPGS graders examine moderns with their naked YOUNG and SHARP eyes alone. That's why all 70's are not the same. IOver the years, the standard for perfection had to be lowered for one reason or another.
