The first pic is actually clearer but I don't see the mark you mention. If it is a single mark on the coin it could be the reason for the downgrade to a 69.
Thanks for the replies and welcomes! I always thought a downgrade from 70 to 69 is a few more scratches under a microscope. The cut in this one is visible from the top part of the A, there's a deep cut on it.
