<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BR549, post: 887357, member: 7110&quot;]I&#039;d be willing to bet that proof Jefferson came out of the flat pack vs. the box set for that year. I have owned some sets from 1955 on, all in pilofilm packs where the nickel toned brilliant colors, including pink.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, a problem arose with NGC and PCGS where all of a sudden there was a huge influx of toned Jefferson proofs all arriving from the same area, Chicago. I&#039;m not saying the grading services exchanged notes, but something was afoot.</p><p><br /></p><p>They took more than a second look at these current submissions and decided the coins were more manipulated than normal and returned them &quot;questionable&quot; . This was when both services used so-called &quot;body-bags&quot; a no-grade flip with the rejection tag attached. It sent a strong message to the submitter that they were no longer going to accept brilliantly toned Jefferson proofs.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a very good chance that some &quot;enhanced&quot; Jefferson nickels made it into top tier holders, which ones, no one really knows...wait, perhaps the Doctor in the Chicago area can tell us?</p><p><br /></p><p>Happy Collecting[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
