Message:: [QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 1654923, member: 19250"]As a Jefferson collector I agree 100% I have several 1960's proof Jefferson's just like these not cooked or doctored in any way...so I guess Black Beauties are cooked also?  I would think that a TPG would be smart enough to know that certain years medal contents cause more so to tone than other years. I had a hard time dealing with TPG's as I had a 1943/2 nickel froma roll that was purchased from the Federal Reserve Bank back in 1943. The coins were at that time delivered to the bank in bags from the mint and rolled at the FRB . Now my dad whom worked there purchased a roll and had them till he died. I got the roll from his  safe. and opened it found the coin in the roll a yes unc. 1943/2 sent it into NGC and it came back genuine ????? The coin was in an unc roll from the FRB and rolled by the FRB,and they said it was cleaned? DUH! My question why would someone clean a single coin from a roll that was  a rare coin and how come the others FS 1943 I sent in with this coin graded with No Problems?  I a a firm believer that some if not all TPG only choose to allow companies that send in thousands of coins or more to obtain the better grades as well as controling the market.  Think about it some one who only summits 5 coins compared to a company who puts orders in in the thousands ...who's gets the better grades? Just my two cents[/QUOTE]
