[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2345924, member: 19250"]Oh I totally get it on the cross to a 68 however in hand this coin is a different animal then by my image. Yes a Pr 68 DC would be a $65,000.00 coin no bones about it. I have had little trust in TPG from sending in coins my self years ago. As I have had several coins sent in come back in body bags. case in point.... my father worked for the Federal Reserve . During his 47 years there he had a lot of money come across his path. He had in his Safety deposit box quite a few items. One was a roll of 1943 P war nickels. it was one item I got when he passed. Now remember in those days the bank received sealed bags from the mint. At the bank there were actually cages where mostly women as it was war time worked to roll coinage to be sent out to regular banks for commerce . Smack dab in the middle of the roll was an 1943/2 unc. Nice coin not full step... but really nice coin. Sent it in......and......it came back cleaned! This coin came from a shotgun roll that the coins last seen light back in 1943. now what makes it even stranger is that I sent in several other coins from the same roll. All came back as 64-66 , one came back as a 65 FS. Yet the one that was the variety came back cleaned. After that I was done sending coins in to PCGS. NGC who in my opinion grade nickels on a different curve that is much tougher got it right. So yes I do agree if you have a high dollar coin or a high value variety you're very lucky if it gets a fair shake.[/QUOTE]
