I realize it'll be hard to tell from photos, & since it has to be PF70 DCAM to be worth TPG, I'll probably just end up selling as is on ebay. I bought this new from the US Mint along with a set of State Quarters. I was going to send the SBA & the quarters in for TPG but for some reason, never got around to it....
The dust & spots are on the outer plastic case.
Field looks black because I have a black felt board around the camera lens.
I wouldn't bother trying to get it graded. Whats the BEST case scenario if it grades 70? You sell it for $80-90 max? Depending on if you are a member with PCGS/NGC or not, and if you were to sell it on ebay grading fees/ebay fees you would probably break even. If it grades a 69, then you lose money. I'm not a gambling man, but if I was I would need better odds than that.
I would just sell as is. It is probably really hard to sell a 70 even if you get it. Most probably buy these for there SBA Dansco or whatever and would not care about TPG. I know the only reason why I have one is for my Dansco, I wanted the OGP, but ended up getting one from an awesome guy for 10bucks so couldn't pass on that.
