  What's going on with the rim edge under 'One' on the reverse????
  
  Actually, it's most of the rim edge on the reverse....is that plastic....no, it's not slabbed at this point!!!!

  What's with the dot of a mark on the 2 in 2008? There is also a mark just south of the middle point in the upright of F in OF.

  Missed a small dent in the 2 on the obverse and above the E on the reverse oh and a couple small ones on the feathers of the eagle on the obverse. Oh and a little rub on the right claw and arrows on the reverse.
  
  But they fall into the as struck category and are outside the 5X loupe requirement.

  It's that 5x loupe requirement that's interesting. I think "70" = "perfect" as far as a 5x view is concerned. This is just a huge image.
  
  When I submit, I use a 7X, figuring my middle age eyes are worth -1 or -2 X on the loupe!

  In my opinion that coin should not grade a 70 with those couple marks, especially with the small dot on the #2 in the date.

  There's no way to tell with a photo that small.

  Could you enlarge the pic a little so that it fills my 42 inch LCD TV monitor? Thanks.

  The spot in the 2 jumped off the page, as did the small spot above the E in STATES and the ?scratches? along the reverse rim.

  p.s. the vertical shield lines, particularly along the right side of each group, do seem to have some slight contact marks. Could be the photo, however.

  MS 70 is not absolute perfection, just no flaws visible with a 5X glass. This coin seems to me to be a 70, if any coin deserves that grade.
