Yes, very much "too good to be true." You've fallen victim to the "basement slabber" problem which infects numismatics. Not only can you assume that coin does not deserve an MS67 grade, it's entirely possible that a reputable TPG might not slab it at all due to cleaning or surface damage.
There's a reason why someone would not have a "true" TPG slab a coin which would be worth thousands of dollars in that slab.
The coin you bought would need to be a very top-end MS65 in reality to be worth the price paid. If you can trust your own grading to be able to make that decision, then do so before you return the coin. Otherwise, just return it immediately.
Let's see what it looks like!
