dang.
This is the casascius I always wanted, it's a beauty for sure. Sadly I can't get it
I've always wondered how the hologram placement factors into the final score, or if they focus primarily on the metal condition and superficial wear.
Most of the laser-edged holograms are cut off-center or applied at a slight offset/skew on the coin itself (noting the 4 raised notches meant to align it)

IMO the symmetry of the laser melt ring is worth considering when grading these coins, but I doubt any of the coin grading agencies even look at the sticker placement, let alone the melt ring.
Every now and then you see a coin with a perfectly symmetrical melt ring, but I’d guess probably 25% or fewer coins have it.

blazedout419, stunning coin, one of the cleanest I have seen. You have seen some 70s I believe, can you see any reason this one is not a 70? I could not from those photos. Liooks flawless and great eye appeal.
Good luck with your sale!
Good luck with your sale!
It is a very clean coin and might be worth sending back in for a chance at 70. I have not seen any MS-70 grades given for a long time though... I wonder if the few that exist are flukes.
