That one is a good example of the initials missing due to die abrasion. That die got seriously roughed up.

Unfortunately the 69 D is listed in Cherrypickers... and the 1970 D is not...
with it not being listed...
most third party graders will not list it on their holders

That's interesting. Does a coin have to go through a special process before they will list it. I'm assuming there is a reason they wouldn't list a coin of a different date with the same error as another coin they already list. Is it their way of trying to protect themselves against counterfeit coins. They have to see a certain quantity of the same error on a different coin before they will list it.

I don't exactly know..my guess would be...
a coin must have a value above a normal coin value.... there must be evidence that the coin is being collected and searched for.... they must examine more than 1 of the coins... they have to feel it has enough interest to be put into their book...
every time a new book is put out... some coins are dropped... some are added...

I can't tell you what ANACS or NGC might say, but I can tell you that PCGS will not slab one of these unless there is absolutely no trace of the FG.
