Question... how tough is the 1940 1d in high end EF to AU with no traces of red? Would a totally red 1946 1d that has a reasonable shot at 65 be worth slabbing? Any thoughts? LordM?

No clue about the other.

UK prices for these as follows:
1940 EF £75 (no UNC price)
1946 BU £15
F - U.S. $5-$8
VF - U.S. $12-$15
XF - U.S. $85-$90
Red UNC - U.S. $900- $1000
1940 pennies are not difficult to obtain in nice EF to AU with traces of mint lustre around the devices and in the harp strings. They are only hard to find in the red uncirculated condition. The UNC price is for an original red lustrous uncirculated coin. A brown or partially brown coin even though exhibiting no wear and clearly uncirculated is worth substantially less which could range from $196- $300.
The number of pennies struck in 1946 were 4,800,000 and in Red UNC condition is valued at about $30-40 U.S.
