This one is very hard to image, but I can assure everyone the toning is "in" and not "on" the surfaces. [IMG] [IMG]

When the market "demands" hard-to-get coins in particular grades, in "no problem" holders, well, SOMEBODY has to 'make' them, right? We can't...
Just to extend the discussion a bit, have a look at this one for sale on eBay, PCGS VF20, and see how it compares with the coins in the o.p....
