Message:: [QUOTE="petro89, post: 1898053, member: 17048"]Actually, I would expect that there would be many out of 100 that would say AT or not market acceptable, and I understand the reasoning behind that for sure.  They are definitely different, and Greg's pics make them especially extravagant (on top of that these two along with the 1947 that I posted on my post are some of the wildest ones I have seen).  But, I have come across many of these over the years from some of the most respected and experienced Canadian dealers out there (which these were purchased from), and many just like these reside in holders of all types including NGC/PCGS/ICG and even ICCS.  It is not uncommon as I said for this run of small cents 40's-late 50's or so to get this toning especially on PL examples.  I kinda liken it to some of the wild toning you see on the 60's and 70's proof Jeffersons.  The coins really are mostly brown but you have to hold them in just the right light to make the colors pop.  As we know, Greg is a Rembrandt with the camera and as a result you have these crazy pics.  I think you have to see them in hand to really see the effect, but believe me my friend, they aren't the wildly painted pieces that you are probably imagining from the pics.[/QUOTE]
