@T-BOP, this is a major reason I would not pay a massive premium for "perfect" coins. Even disregarding the potential subjectivity, a perfect coin is by definition a fragile thing. I would be too worried about it. It seems that the coin grader's breath could ruin it. Too humid or a tiny bump and there goes your investment.

I saw many coin graded MS 70 that have small imperfection, and many MS 69 that looks better, some time I think people just looking for the 70 label.

I wouldn't it's hard to tell because it's in a holder but it's probably not perfect. I also don't think its a deep cameo but the photo would have to be straight on and level to be sure of that. To my understanding, most coin leave the mint at a lower grade than a 70. Which is why they are rare, and why they price so much higher. That coin got put in the holder at some point, albeit 40+ years ago. They also don't sit sung on the holder.

Sorry for not posting the back. Didnt see much need since the front was shot down already. Its hard to get the best shots due to them being shiny and reflective
