I tend to think that the TPG's have a double standard when it comes to certification of errors that may have been intentionally released by mint employees. For example if a Fred Weinberg or Jon Sullivan personally submitted such an error for certification, I imagine they would have a much better chance at getting it in a slab than if an adverage collector submitted it. Note, I don't place any fault at the error dealers in this, its the TPG's themselves that are discriminatory against the little guys. In my own opinion, the TPGs should place no regard in whether or not something was intentionally released, because at the end of the day they have virtually no means of actually knowing 100% as to the circumstances that any error was released.

I have no doubt it is a legitimate error. I just question the legality of it's exit from the mint.
