    Just got this today, before I bid, I ask the seller if the unclear fields were light shimmer from the camera.

    but there it is (the smugy unclear fields) just like in the picture, but if you hold it to where you look at it from edge-on it looks clear like a pr70 cam should. and the case looks a little scatch up, but not to explain how it looks above the islands, at 1, 4, 7, 10 'O' clock, but edge-on looks clear as can be.

    I don't know what to think.

    anybody else have this problem?

    How can something like that pass as a 70?

    I know, I'm sending it back monday, it was going to be a birthday present to myself. I am very dissapointed.

    More than likely, it wasn't visible when graded. I have seen many silver proofs start out clean and then small pinpoints of "milk" and then the toning spreads across the fields. If the opportunity exists to return, probably you should, as it won't get better, and it could continue to get worse.

    Gotta always make sure that the proof coins you buy are not milky
    It is possible that not all of that was visible when graded, if it was, then NGC made a boo boo...
    Hope you get your money back
