You've had album toned silver rejected as "questionable"? That's sad, because that process is well understood.
Yes I have. And just recently I sold a bunch of beautifully toned Roosevelt dimes straight from a Dansco album to C-B-D. A month or so later I saw he had posted several of them on EBay in genuine holders. 0% chance they were AT. 100% natural and the toning was textbook album, with normal toning patterns.
Juiced isn't the right word. Clad proof color often is stronger in pictures than in person, but juiced implies a deceptive editing process. They obviously wanted the color to look its best even though it may only show at certain angles in hand, but Phil doesn't juice photos
