Do you think this would grade higher, lower or the same with today’s standards?

    Obviously been entombed for awhile. Lol Very nice looking and I can’t help but wonder if this would get a higher grade today. What do you think? Please use the poll but leave any comments.

    I have no idea, but I like the coin very much. No cloudiness in the fields or milk spits, first year of clad issues, old holder. I'd say keep it as is.

    I would keep her where she lies. But that’s just me. I think coins were graded far more conservatively back then so yes I do think you may improve the grade if you resubmitted today….. I just like the old holders because you can tell a coin hasn’t been messed with…. How bout a CAC maybe?

    Trying to evaluate that coin in the slab, with the photos you've provided, is a fools errand, in my opinion. No offense, just can't guess at a grade with those photos.

    70 S was the last year of 40% silver clad...

    The grading mind set on these older Proofs is that there are very few pieces higher than PR-67. I see what appears to be hairlines on the obverse in back of Kennedy's cowlick. I voted "same grade," but you could get less.
